Its proximity to the Ancient Agora is a killer for this site. I suppose if you want to know the Romans where in Greece this reminds us. Other than that its just another piece of history More

Well worth a brief visit, if only to walk around the wonderful Tower of the Winds, a waterclock at its far end. The tower and its sculptures of Roman date greatly impressed architects who visited Athens and others in the 18th century. The Romn Agora is peaceful, even in the ummer, nd little visited. You can get a good idea... More

My mistake; I assumed the Agora to be the Roman Agora. Still worth a visit! More

You couldn't possibly spend more than 10 minutes here. Even with our free tickets we didn't bother entering the Roman Agora and I just viewed it from outside the metal fence. There wasn't much to see and it was rather disappointing. I had expected these ancient sites in Athens to be on a larger scale. We walked past some evenings... More

As the title says, there's not much left to this site, a bunch of columns and part of the foundation. There are a few smaller buildings towards the back and an entrance. It was pretty empty though and relaxing place to stop. Tickets are included in the Acropolis ticket package. More

The Roman Agora is a breath of fresh air after visiting the Acropolis, which is exactly how I would suggest formatting your itinerary. After the crowds of the Acropolis, the spacious grounds and shady trees of the Agora are very pleasant. The old church and temple are in relatively good condition, and there are many great photo opportunities. Admission is... More
