The cemetery of ancient Athens, Kerameikos is one of the most important archaeological sights in Athens. The best part is few tourists ever discover it!
The parts of the Kerameikos that were once located near the riverbank were flooded by the overflowing river, which meant it was converted into a burial ground. This developed gradually developed into the most important cemetery of ancient Athens.
Come and explore what remains of Kerameikos with these entry tickets. The Themistoclean wall surrounded the entire ancient city of Athens and divided the Kerameikos into two sections - inner and outer Kerameikos. Inner Kerameikos (inside the city walls) developed into a residential neighbourhood, while outer Kerameikos remained a cemetery.
See the section of the wall that crossed the Kerameikos in a North to South direction, preserved to this day, together with two important gates, the Dipylon, the largest and most formal Athenian gate, and the Sacred Gate.
