Epidaurus is among the most important ancient sites of Greece. It is located only 2 hours drive from Athens. In ancient times, Epidaurus was famous for the Asklepion, a center for healing. The name of Asklepion is derived from the god of healing, Asklepius (also the son of Apollo).
There are two official sales per year in Greece: summer and winter. In summer, sales starts from mid July till end of August. In winter, sales starts from mid January to February. I was visiting Greece early August 2015. So it was the best time to shop for me. Just like any other big cities and tourist attraction, Athens has quite a few popular places for shopping among the tourists and Athenians. One of the best places to buy just about anything is Monastiraki Flea Market and Ermou Street.
The excavation of ancient Athenian agora has been excavated since 1931. It revealed a large number of temples, stores, altars and even a concert hall. Today, two large buildings are intact: the Hephaisteion and the Stoa. The Hephaisteion is the best preserved temple in Greece and the Stoa was a large shopping center which is now a museum.
Cape Sounion is located at approximately 65 km south-east of Athens. It is famous as the site of ancient ruins of the Temple of Poseidon. Since it is not too far from Athens, I decided to have a half-day excursion to Temple of Poseidon in the noon.
