Atenista Walk Round Jewish Athens
The Atenistas City group choses walks around parts of Athens that we might not discover ourselves. This is a great idea, as it brings a (much needed!) greater appreciation of the city. This walk was all about Jewish Athens and ended up in Athens only kosher restaurant, Gostijo. For videos on Athens visit
Athens | The Jewish Museum
The Museum was first established in 1977 and was housed in a small room next to the city's synagogue. Due to its continuous expansion, twenty years later, the Museum moved to the center of Athens which is a 6 minute walk from the Syntagma metro station. It had objects salvaged from WW II, as well as artifacts, documents and manuscripts of the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection expanded with rare books and publications, textiles, jewelry, domestic and religious artifacts, thanks to the interest of several individuals and contributions from all the communities of Greece.

Plaka, Anafiotika & Syntagma (Αθήνα/Athens)
Pláka (Greek: Πλάκα) is the picturesque old historical neighbourhood of Athens, clustered around the northern and eastern slopes of the Acropolis, and incorporating labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture. Plaka is built on top of the residential areas of the ancient town of Athens. During the early modern age and until the early 20th century Plaka was noted at the time as the Albanian quarter of Athens[1][2][3][4][5] It is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists around the year, and is under strict zoning and conservation regulations, being the only neighborhood in Athens where all utilities (water, power, cable television, telephone, internet, and sewage) lie underground in fully accessible, custom-made tunnelling. Motor vehicles are not allowed in Plaka, and most streets are too narrow, thus not being able to accommodate them anyway.
Museums in Plaka include the new Jewish Museum of Greece, the Greek Folk Art Museum and the Frissiras Museum. Excavations have proven that Adrianou Street is the oldest street in Athens still in continuous use with the exact same layout since antiquity. Of special interest is the neighborhood of Anafiotika, the part of Plaka that is built against the northern slope of the Acropolis; built by immigrants from the Aegean island of Anafi in the early 19th century, it features traditional Cycladic architecture.
The Choragic Monument of Lysicrates near the Acropolis of Athens was erected by the choregos Lysicrates, a patron of many theatrical performances in the Theater of Dionysus, to commemorate the award of first prize in 335 BC or 334 BC, to one of the performances he had sponsored. The choregos was the sponsor who paid for and supervised the training of the dramatic dance-chorus.
Syntagma Square (Greek: Πλατεία Συντάγματος, Constitution Square), is located in central Athens, Greece. The Square is named after the Constitution King Othon was forced to grant the people after a popular and military uprising, on September 3, 1843.
The square proper is bordered by Vassileos Georgiou A' Street to the north, Othonos Street to the south, Filellinon Street to the west and Amalias Avenue to the east. The eastern side of the square is higher than the western, and dominated by a set of marble steps leading to Amalias Avenue; beneath these lies the Syntagma metro station. The stairs emerge below between a pair of outdoor cafes, and are a popular city-centre gathering place. Syntagma also includes two green areas to the north and south, planted with shade trees, while in the center of the square a large water fountain traditionally hosts the occasionally sighted Syntagma pigeons, along with heat-tormented Athenians during the summer.
Syntagma Square is also the frequent site of political demonstrations. The Greek Parliament is immediately across Amalias Avenue to the east, and surrounded by the extensive National Gardens, which are open to the public. Every hour, the changing of the guard ceremony, performed by the Presidential Guard, is conducted in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the area between the square and parliament. On Sundays and official holidays, the ceremonial changing of the guard takes place with an army band and the majority of the 120 Evzones present at 11am.
Syntagma Square is also a hub for many forms of public transportation in Athens; Syntagma station of the Athens Metro is here, the tram stops here, and buses or trolley-buses are available to many points in the city. Travel between Syntagma Square and the Eleftherios Venizelos Airport is available via special airport bus and metro lines. Free wireless Internet access at high speeds (4 Mbit/s) is offered by the Municipality of Athens at the Square.
The Square is also located near many of Athens' oldest and most famous neighbourhoods and tourist attractions. The neighborhoods of Plaka (Πλάκα), Monastiraki (Μοναστηράκι), Psiri (Ψυρρή) and Kolonaki (Κολωνάκι) are all within walking distance, and most of the famous sites of ancient Athens are nearby, including the Acropolis (Ακρόπολις), the Theater of Dionysus, the Areopagus, the Ancient Agora of Athens (Αρχαία Αγορά των Αθηνών) with Hadrian's Library, the Tower of the Winds in the Roman Agora, the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, the Arch of Hadrian (Αψίς του Ανδριανού), the Temple of Olympian Zeus (Ναός του Ολυμπίου Διός), the Pnyx (Πνύκα), the Philopappos Monument (Μνημείο του Φιλοπάππου) on the Hill of the Nymphs, the Kerameikos Cemetery (Νεκροταφείο Κεραμικού), the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Μνημείο του Αγνώστου Στρατιώτη) and Lycabettus Hill. Historic churches also dot the area, some dating from the Middle Ages. (wikipedia)

Let's Visit Port Piraeus, Home of the Athenian Navy - History Tour in AC: Odyssey Discovery Mode
In this guided history tour we visit Port Piraeus, home of the Athenian Navy, which was protected by the famous long walls of Athens! We are joined by Professor Daniel Faas who speaks at length to the history of the Athenian trireme fleet, its port, and its dockyards. This video was filmed in the Assassin's Creed: Odyssey Discovery Mode.
In the video we explore Port Piraeus and its surroundings. We begin by talking about the geography of Athens and the history of its development. This focuses on the building up of its main port and the impressive defensive structure that was the long walls of Athens. We then descend to the ground level to talk about the commercial and military activities taking place. Then we turn to one of the Trireme vessels to talk about their details and use in combat like the battle of salamis. Then we turn to how these ships were built and maintained in ancient Greece. I hope you enjoy this educational documentary on ancient Greek history and Athenian history presented through the the Assassins Creed Odyssey Discovery Mode.
