The public buildings of ancient Athens

Pausanias was an educated Roman citizen, who was born in Asia Minor at around 110 CE, when the Roman Empire was at its height. He was able to visit many parts of Greece because it was relatively safe and easy to travel around, thanks to the state of peace (known as Pax Romana) maintained throughout the Roman Empire during this period. He came up with the idea of writing a Description of Greece, a chapter of which focuses on the region of Attica. With Pausanias as our guide, we will begin our tour of ancient Athens, specifically we will discover the major ancient public buildings of Athens. Throughout this tour, you’ll be able to get a unique sight and storytelling through one of the most famous archaeological sites of the world. Explore the ancient Athenian living and lifestyle retracing the background of  the Kerameikos, the Agora, Prison of Socrates and much more!

Some of the places touched by this itinerary are inside archaeological areas that require a ticket entrance:
Specifically, the Keramikos offers a comprehensive view also from the outside, but we highly recommend purchasing a ticket to enter the Agora Archaeological site!

You may want to consider the Athens Combined ticket, which costs around 30€ and has a duration of 5 days, allowing you entrance to every archaeological area touched by this itinerary. EU citizens under 25 years old usually get the tickets for free, but they still need to declare the time they are going to enter and leave.
