Kerameikos — Athens Ancient Cemetery Walk
psirriTier: budget
The most undervisited UNESCO-listed site in Athens — a 3,000-year-old cemetery where Pericles gave his famous funeral oration, and where the Sacred Way began its route to Eleusis. Far fewer tourists than the Acropolis; the on-site museum holds some of the finest funerary sculpture in Greece.
