Offbeat places in Athens: Byzantine churches, neighborhood museums, historic squares

30 elements

Beyond the standard tourist circuit, Athens contains Byzantine monasteries, historic neighborhoods and specialized museums. The city offers Roman ruins, observation points on multiple hills, traditional bars and cultural centers in former industrial buildings. These sites represent different periods of the Greek capital, from classical antiquity to modern urban development. The collection includes Kaisariani Monastery from Byzantine times, the Temple of Hephaestus as one of the best preserved Greek temples, botanical gardens and neighborhoods such as Psyri and Anafiotika. Museums present toys, musical instruments, coins and scientific collections. Visitors can climb Filopappou Hill or Strefi Hill, visit themed cafes or explore the National Observatory. The selection ranges from ancient sites to contemporary cultural venues.
