Everyone arrives obsessed with the Acropolis, and fair enough, but the Agora is where the city starts to feel human instead of monumental. This is where Athenians traded, argued, voted, gossiped, worshipped, and tried to invent democracy while wearing sandals.</p> <p>And unlike some archaeological sites that demand a lot of imagination, this one still gives you real architectural payoff: the <strong>Temple of Hephaestus</strong> is stunningly intact, the <strong>Stoa of Attalos</strong> has been reconstructed with unusual confidence, and the museum inside helps the whole place make sense.</p>
