The Museums of Athens

In order of my preference.

There exists a Special ticket package for the Archaeological Sites of Athens
(Acropolis site and museum, Ancient Agora, Theatre of Dionysos
Kerameikos, Olympieion, Roman Agora): € 12 (reduced: € 6).

National Archeological Museum

44 Patission St

The archeological treasure house of Greece will reopen for the Olympics in August 2004. A thorough renovation of its dusty halls and displays was overdue for years. I assume that the collection will be rearranged, so you will have to rely on their newest plan.
