Ticketing experience with Headout was great - downloaded easily on app, then scanned easily to get into the ancient Agora. The site was incredible. We actually took it really slowly, over 2 1/2 hours, stopping to rest and stay cool in the shade of the trees, frequent bench spots, and to appreciate the sites and atmosphere. It is a beautiful site, so well preserved. It was incredibly interesting and fascinating!

The tour experience was good. However, we could not do it following the audio guide that we had paid for, since the code offered to access the audio guide was not the correct one, so we had to be guided by Chat GPT. In addition, the entrance to the ancient agora was not well indicated, since there were two different addresses that did not correspond to the real entrance. There were works going on and nobody warned us.

Going early in the morning allowed us to visit the entire site at our leisure and to observe all the details it has to offer.

Had an amazing time unfortunately had some issues with the code for the audio guid but but this issue was resolved in way of a refund of the audio guide for both myself and my partner. So not let that stop you though if you use the key yours app you can simply purchase it seperatly and continue on.

This visit was a pleasant surprise. The site is huge, with a rich museum inside the stoa. The remaining buildings are very well preserved. Explanations available everywhere. First experience with the headout site. Impeccable operation.
A walk through time in ancient Athens
Step into the heart of ancient Greece and wander through the Ancient Agora, the cradle of Athenian democracy. This is where history was shaped, where great thinkers like Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato once shared their philosophies. Stroll among the remains of this legendary gathering place and marvel at its crown jewel, the Temple of Hephaestus. One of the best-preserved ancient temples in Greece, its elegant Doric columns and intricate friezes stand as a breathtaking testament to classical architecture.
Discovering hidden treasures
Your journey continues at the Museum of the Ancient Agora, housed in the impressive Stoa of Attalos. Admire marble busts, statues, and everyday artifacts unearthed here, each revealing a slice of Athenian life. Walk through the shaded colonnades of the Stoa and soak in its distinctive atmosphere. Beyond the museum, discover historically significant structures like the Tholos and the Bouleuterion, but it’s the Temple of Hephaestus that will truly steal the spotlight, offering a rare, tangible link to Greece’s golden age. Whether you’re a history aficionado or simply curious, this experience is a vivid journey back in time.
