Kerameikos

About Kerameikos

The ancient cemetery of Athens, with beautiful grave monuments, the remains of the city gates and a small museum, often blissfully quiet. Kerameikos takes its name from the ancient potters’ quarter and cemetery, whose archaeological site is open to visitors, and the streets towards Gazi are full of bars and restaurants. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat and the crowds, and buy tickets for state sites online at hhticket.gr to skip the queue.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Kerameikos before you go.
