The White Rose of Athens

So last time we explored the Acropolis and the Parthenon and marvelled at the story and lavish history in the fabulous accompanying museum. But Athens is a living breathing museum and there is so much history to absorb at archaeological sites that you will find around every corner in this city. Some are free to visit, some, such as the Olympic Stadium require a separate entry fee and some are free as part of your Athena's Combined Ticket and these seem like a good place to start... Temple of Hephaestus Ancient Agora First on the list was the tranquil and beautiful Ancient Agora. In ancient Greek  agora  translates to  'meeting place' or 'market place'. So this rather grand centre of commerce that sits in the shadow of the Acropolis boasts the impressively intact Temple of Hephaestus and also the restored portico, the Stoa of Attalos which hosts a small but fascinating museum with artifacts from the site. Wandering around this oasis of calm in the centre of the city
