calliopecruiser Posted August 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Any recommendations for more "modern" places to see in Athens? By that, I mean not related to ancient Greece (i.e. not the Acropolis or its slopes, not the ancient Agora or the Temple of Zeus, etc). Modern museums or art galleries? Architecture?

suec12 Posted August 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I loved the Byzantine museum, I am a Christian and it might not appeal much if you are not. But it has the most amazing collections of icons, various church relics and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
