The functions of the old agora were transferred to the Roman Agora, which was built around 100 metres east of the original agora. The Roman Agora has not today been fully excavated, but is known to have been a peristyle open space.

The capital is lovely to stroll through, especially along the most beautiful street Dionysiou Areopagitou. Pick up a city guide to make sure you don’t miss any of the historical sites in the streets and learn more about them. Adrianou Street is the main shopping street of Plaka old town. This part of the city is known for its pastel-colored lanes and typical white houses.
