One tour, two archaeological sites. Starting in the Ancient Agora, you can admire the Stoa of Attalos, an ancient building fully reconstructed to its original scale thanks to a renovation program. Along with other buildings such as the temple of Hephaestus, the remains of the Middle Stoa, and the Byzantine church of the Holy Apostles, this is the perfect place to stroll around and explore Greek ancient history.
Built at the foot of the Acropolis hill, the Roman Agora was the city’s market area under Roman rule. Its construction began in the first century BC, with the help of donations from Julius Caesar and Augustus.
