Skip the line and wander on the ruins of the history. Discover the birthplace of Athenian democracy, the place where ancient Greeks used to meet for gossip and snacks and where prominent Greek philosophers like Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato all gave speeches.
Contrasting with the austere ruins in the middle of the archaeological site however, two splendid buildings stand as testaments to its past glory: the humble Temple of Hephaestus, which is the best preserved ancient Greek temples from the Classical era, and the impressive Stoa of Attalos--a building of the Hellenistic period that was rebuilt from the ground up based on its ancient appearance.
