travel europe greece athens the agora
Next to the Plaka is the ancient Agora (central public space) of the Athens.
In the heat of the day, I decided to only take a look from a couple vantage points around it.
Because I didn't really get to explore it, my rating is based on superficial observations... on a very hot day.
