Un sitio muy tranquilo y diferente. Es el antiguo cementerio de Atenas y tiene una atmósfera muy especial. Si te gusta la historia y quieres huir un poco del ruido del centro mientras ves restos arqueológicos de calidad, merece mucho la pena la visita.

Yacimiento precioso, muy interesante con un pequeño museo dentro con piezas cuidadas y bien conservadas. Cómo curiosidad, las tortugas abundan de forma sorprendente y campan a sus anchas, dándole al lugar un toque más especial aún.

Museo Del Trampolin

Otro de los maravillosos lugares que visitar en Atenas, restos de la gran muralla que rodeaba la ciudad, antiguas tumbas y un pequeño museo con restos cerámicos, lo único negativo en este casi es que no funcionaban los lavabos y no es el primer lugar que nos encontramos con este problema.
