Ancient Agora of Athens, Athens

Easily the most evocative site of the classical period. Even more than the Acropolis, being here gives you a sense of what Classical Athens felt like. The museum portion, as well, is one of the best curated collections in Greece. Even though it’s small, it has incredibly unique findings. My favorite place in Athens.

No doubt it's a famous and picturesque place full of history. Would be nice to have an opportunity to hire a tour guide/join a scheduled tour group or, at least, scan an QR code for reading historical overview about objects there. All those descriptions of style of architecture are nice, but not what you will remember.

The site was a lot bigger than expected, which was a pleasant suprise. Lots to see and tortoises dotted about. The museum section is worth a visit and has lots of interesting pieces. Really enjoyable walk in the sunshine. Everything is labelled with a marble block and easy to identify. Lots of benches and different paths. You can easily spend a few hours here.

Nothing tells a story of an ancient civilization like ruins...😍

The birthplace of democracy. Amazing to consider the social experiment started over 2000 years ago. The entire complex is worth exploring, keeping in mind this represented the first known direct democracy in the western world. The ruins, artifacts, and reconstructions are all impressive if you use them to create a mental picture of what it must have been.
