Really interesting place to visit. It's an ancient cemetery and the tombs are fascinating. The museum has lots of ceramic artefacts dating back to about 1700BC. Great place to learn about the history of ancient Greece.

Excellent site, very enjoyable. Ancients roads, city walls, gates, tombs…. and a tortoise. Info markers here are well done and help you visualize the past prior to ruin. Tombs and grave markers are interesting. Wall construction interesting. Site also has potable water well, welcome on a blazing hot July day.

Best site amongst the non acropolis sites. But like all sites in Athens, the Greek ministry of culture have 0 clue how to make their sites accessible to tourists. 0 information on anything we’re seeing. The digital map is so useless and hard to navigate. What made this an awful experience is the staff shouting at me when I asked questions about the site and for a map - very rude and unprofessional In the museum part - a staff member tried to fiddle with my bag because he wanted to hide a keychain that could scratch the cabinet display. Instead of just asking me , he touched my possessions himself and messed about - that’s so unprofessional and a blatant lack of respect for your visitors . Gross stay away

An ancient cemetery that still has a lot of the ancient ruins, we were even lucky to witness archaeologists working on excavating ground stones (and being among the first ones to see it in thousands of years). We spent more than 1h there walking slowly and enjoying the place and the museum. The museum is a couple of rooms but has many artefacts. Out of the 7 places included in the general admission for the acropolis tickets, I would place this one in the 3rd place (acropolis being the first, followed by ancient agora)

One of the sites included in the extended Acropolis ticket. The site includes the old Athenian walls and the cemetery outside them. Several signs point out what you are looking at, but it was also fun just wandering around the ruins. Nicely presented small museum on the site, that contains the originals of several items that have been replaced with replicas to preserve them. There's a few tortoises too - as well as the usual complement of elegant stray cats.
