Kafeneio

Located just above Thissio, this ancient temple was opened in the 5th century BC and still remains largely intact.

Built about 15 BCE, it was a large odeon located in the centre of the Ancient Agora of Athens.

A building that housed the Prytaneion or seat of government in ancient Athens.

It was a marble podium that bore the bronze statues of the ten heroes representing the tribes of Athens.

It was the road leading from the main gate of Athens up to the Acropolis, built for the great Panathenaia religious festival.

Thissio is one of locals' favorite neighborhoods, with open air concerts and lined with kafeneios interspersed with its many neoclassical buildings.
