It’s where Themistocles convinced the city to fight the Persians at Salamis, where Pericles built the Delian League, where Nic...

Pompeion

South Slope of the Acropolis of Athens
Historical landmark
👍 Some visitors to the Acropolis prefer to use the entrance on the bottom of the south slope of the hill to the main entrance much further uphill. It might be a little easier to walk up to the top of the hill from this side, but this entrance lacks the drama of the main one. If you believe that the cl...

Kokovikos Mansion

There was no building for Aphrodite's altar or a plaque to indicate where it was supposed to be. Just a picture on the provided information stands around t...
