Klappentext

Discover Athens' ancient ruins and characterful neighborhoods, plus little-known suburbs and unusual objects for independent cultural travelers.

Discover Athens' ancient ruins, characterful neighbourhoods, and little-known suburbs with this explorer's guidebook to Europe's oldest continuously occupied city. Ruined temples and reused factories, ancient bronzes and modern street art, historic cafés and traditional tavernas. From the perfection of the Parthenon and Plato's ruined Academy to al fresco cinemas and the Hellenic Motor Museum. Locations include Emperor Hadrian's reservoir, the Tower of the Winds, the Theatre Train, and Isadora Duncan's Dance School. Also the Catacombs of Philhellenon, the Poet Sandal Maker, the home of Heinrich Schliemann, and the Pentelic marble quarries. The ideal city guide for travellers who want to escape the crowds and go beyond the well-known paths, as well as for those inhabitants who perhaps thought they already knew their city. Published by The Urban Explorer, these city tales from new and unusual perspectives are aimed at independent cultural travellers.
