The cemetery is under the Municipality of Athens and is declared an historical monument.
Το Πρώτο Νεκροταφείο Αθηνών είναι το παλαιότερο κοιμητήριο των Αθηνών. Θεωρείται πολύ σημαντικό, τόσο για το γεγονός ότι εκεί αναπαύονται πολλοί επώνυμοι Έλληνες που στα τελευταία χρόνια διακρίθηκαν στον χώρο των γραμμάτων, των τεχνών και της πολιτικής, όσο και από ιστορική και καλλιτεχνική άποψη, καθώς περιλαμβάνει μεγάλης αξίας γλυπτά.
Το Πρώτο Νεκροταφείο βρίσκεται στο τέρμα της οδού Αναπαύσεως, σε λόφο νότια του Παναθηναϊκού σταδίου και πέραν του Ιλισού. Είναι κατάφυτο με πεύκα και κυπαρίσσια.

Atina'dan Yunanistan | Kültür Sanat | Atina (Birinci) Mezarlığı | First Cemetery of Athens
Melina Mercouri, Andreas Papandreou gibi Yunanistan'ın tanınmış isimlerinin ebedi uykuya yattıkları Atina (Birinci) Mezarlığı'ndayız bu videoda. Mezarlık videosu paylaşmak pek aklı yerinde bir hareket değil farkındayım ama Atina'nın kalabalığından, gürültüsünden uzakta, cennet gibi bir yer burası. Üstelik ülkedeki en güzel (antik döneme ait olanlar hariç) heykellerini görebileceğiniz bir açık hava müzesi. Gelin servi ağaçlarının arasından sızan güneş ışığıyla biraz gezelim burada.

Athens Heritage Foundation Walking Tours - Old Athens Cemetery with Janine Duncan
The Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation presents Athens Heritage Walks. Join Janine Duncan as she guides you through Old Athens Cemetery on South Jackson Street in Athens, Georgia. Posted 1-2-2012.
Athens Heritage Walks Video Disclaimer
These videos are unedited recordings of a series of guided walking tours, called Athens Heritage Walks, sponsored by the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation. The first of these tours were developed in 2009; additional tours have been added over the years. The tour process begins when a well-known local figure is invited to develop a guided tour of a historic neighborhood or area. The Foundation does not provide a script but rather asks the guide to develop his/her own script based on his/her knowledge and expertise. The Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation does not guarantee the accuracy of these accounts nor necessarily support opinions expressed by the guides. ACHF provides research assistance when asked and handles all tour logistics. One of the goals of the tours is to capture the personal memories of the guides and so the tours tend to be a mixture of facts, conjecture and anecdotal accounts, the degree of which varies from guide to guide. We hope you enjoy them.
Kerameikos | The Ancient Cemetery of Athens | Greece | 4K

Wiki: Kerameikos also known by its Latinized form Ceramicus, is an area of Athens, Greece, located to the northwest of the Acropolis, which includes an extensive area both within and outside the ancient city walls, on both sides of the Dipylon (Δίπυλον) Gate and by the banks of the Eridanos River. It was the potters' quarter of the city, from which the English word ceramic is derived, and was also the site of an important cemetery and numerous funerary sculptures erected along the road out of the city towards Eleusis.
The area has undergone a number of archaeological excavations in recent years, though the excavated area covers only a small portion of the ancient dēmos. It was originally an area of marshland along the banks of the Eridanos river which was used as a cemetery as long ago as the 3rd millennium BC. It became the site of an organised cemetery from about 1200 BC; numerous cist graves and burial offerings from the period have been discovered by archaeologists. Houses were constructed on the higher drier ground to the south. During the Archaic period increasingly large and complex grave mounds and monuments were built along the south bank of the Eridanos, lining the Sacred Way.

Athens' first official mosque scheduled to open in April
(22 Feb 2017) LEAD IN
Athens, the only European Union capital without an official place of worship for Muslims, will get its first state-funded mosque at the end of April.
STORY-LINE:
Tzistarakis Mosque sits in the shadow of the Acropolis.
But no Muslims worship here. The building has been converted into a museum of Greek folk art.
It's the same story at the Fethiye Mosque, another Ottoman-era structure. It now operates as a cultural centre.
Religious use stopped in places like these after Greece's independence in 1829.
Instead, Muslims in Athens attend makeshift mosques in basements, warehouses, parking lots and empty stores.
According to the Greek authorities, there are between 60 and 80 makeshift mosques in the capital and only a handful of them are officially registered as places of worship.
Naim El-Ghandour is head of the Muslim Association of Greece and attends prayers at the Al Salam mosque, a basement in the central suburb of Neos Kosmos.
He says Greek Muslims face an element of prejudice.
Unfortunately the Patriarch of Athens didn't want to recognise that there are Muslims with Greek nationality, that have done the Greek military service and that pay taxes like everybody else, like the Orthodox Greeks, he says.
But a long-awaited official mosque is in the pipeline.
It will be the first built in the capital in over 180 years and has been a decade in the making.
When it opens it will be under the control of a board with representatives from the Greek Muslim community, the Muslims of Athens, Greek academics and a representative of the state.
The Mayor of Athens, Giorgos Kaminis, says the mosque should have been built many, many decades ago.
Votanikos neighbourhood, a former industrial area now derelict, will host the mosque.
The plot of land is not yet accessible as it is within the perimeter of a Navy base. Once it is finished, authorities will open a road with direct and open access to the main road.
And in an unprecedented move, the state is funding its construction.
Georgios Kalantzis, Greece's Secretary General for Religious Affairs, says religious buildings do not normally receive government money.
An exception was made to have this mosque in Athens because the government (back in 2006) and the successive governments that followed wanted the first mosque built in Athens to be publicly funded and not have the involvement of other countries, he explains.
The long-lasting Greek financial crisis, the institutional instability and the staunch opposition of the Greek Orthodox Church under its previous leader and far-right parties delayed its construction after the mosque was first approved in 2006.
But Kalantzis says all legal challenges have now been resolved.
The new mosque will be able to host around 500 people, not nearly enough to meet the needs of the estimated 200,000 Muslims living in Athens and its suburbs.
Kalantzis insists that the opening of the new mosque doesn't imply that the remaining makeshift mosques in Athens will have to close.

GREECE: EXPLORING the NATIONAL (or ROYAL) GARDENS ???? in the center of ATHENS
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for a walk around the National Gardens in central Athens in the middle of the summer. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. The National Garden (formerly the Royal Garden) (Greek: Εθνικός Κήπος) is a public park of 15.5 hectares (38 acres) in the center of the Greek capital, Athens. It is located between the districts of Kolonaki and Pangrati, directly behind the Greek Parliament building (The Old Palace) and continues to the South to the area where the Zappeion is located, across from the Panathenaiko or Kalimarmaro Olympic Stadium of the 1896 Olympic Games.
Athens is the capital of Greece. It was also at the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilization and empire. The city is still dominated by 5th-century BC landmarks, including the Acropolis, a hilltop citadel topped with ancient buildings like the colonnaded Parthenon temple. The Acropolis Museum, along with the National Archaeological Museum, preserves sculptures, vases, jewelry and more from Ancient Greece.
