This novel and delightful half-day tour focuses on the archaeological exhibits of three modern Athens Metro stations, in combination with an illuminating visit to the open-air archaeological site of Kerameikos and Agora.

Athens and it illustrious monuments attract millions of visitors every year; few visitors however are aware that treasures also lie underground; some of these treasures are on display at a number of Athens Metro stations, as the works to create the subway network were combined with meticulous and painstaking archaeological excavations.  A large part of the findings is exhibited in six Athens Metro stations, thus affording the latter the rare dual function of being modern constructions full of movement and technology whilst also serving as museum and stratigraphic sections of their particular localities.

 The programme is led by a licensed archaeologist-guide, lasts approximately four hours and thirty minutes and is offered round the year.

Itinerary
1
Eternal Greece Short stop at the Corinth Canal, which connects the Gulf of Corinth in the west with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea in the east. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, thus effectively making the former peninsula an island. The builders dug the canal through the Isthmus at sea level; no locks are employed. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for most modern ships. It now has little economic importance.
