[2025 Athens Attraction] Travel Guide for The Kerameikos Museum (Updated Jul)

When visiting Athens I made sure to visit the Ancient Cemetery of Kerameikos located near the city centre of Athens and Hadrian’s Library, both locations are part of the Athens pass and is something I would advise purchasing when visiting Athens! The site itself holds a museum you gain access to holding various sculptures and other artefacts from the Cemetery. As shown in the pictures you can see the style of gravestones utilised which in contrast to old cemeteries in the United Kingdom are completely unique. When walking around the site you’re able to get a great view of a classic holy site located near by as well as why stands of various old buildings that surrounded the cemetery. The sizes of the houses vary and allows you to gain an idea of the architecture used as well as vision the house in all it’s originally glory. The day I visited the cemetery of Kerameikos it was a picturesque sunny day in Athens that made the visit extra special and a personal highlight of my trip to Athens due to how underestimated the site is. I would definitely recommend visiting! #greece #athens #KerameikosAncientCemetery

Located at the entrance of the Kerameikos archaeological site, the Kerameikos Museum (Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Κεραμεικού) is a small building with nearby restroom facilities. The Kerameikos site served as Athens' cemetery in the 12th century BC. The museum houses a collection of excavated pottery, statues, and other ancient Greek burial artifacts.

In addition to the Acropolis, I think the Archaeological Museum of Kerameikos also has many cultural relics to see and is worth going. Kerameikos is located in the northeast of Athens and is also called Ceramicus (ceramics). It has this name because there are many pottery workers living in that area. The area is also famous for having the largest cemetery in Greece. The Romans began using the cemetery as early as the sixth century AD. The Archaeological Museum of Kerameikos was built in 1937. The museum houses many works of art from 860 BC. Sculptures from different periods are mainly funerary objects or other artifacts related to death, including urns, tomb reliefs, stele and jewelry. --------- Archaeological Museum of Kerameikos #Athens #kerameikos #archaeologicalmuseumofkerameikos #Greek Monuments #Greek Itinerary #Greece #Greek Travel #Greek Free Travel #followmetoGreece #Greek Itinerary Suggestions #Greek Itinerary Plan
