Experiences

National Archaeological Museum

Choose this when you want the world's deepest collection of ancient Greek antiquities (Mycenaean gold, the Antikythera mechanism, classical bronzes) rather than Acropolis-specific finds; it sits north of the center in Exarchia, away from the main tourist circuit.
