The Kerameikos Cemetery is another remarkable thing to see in the Acropolis area of Athens. The cemetery is home to several graves from the ancient era. In spring, the flowers grow in the wild grass around the stone tombs making it a somber and yet beautiful sight to see.

The ruins also have many sculptures and lovely engravings on them. Notably, Pythagoras, the Mathematician was buried here. It is a pretty big area, so expect a lot to see and explore. The Pompeion and the Dipylon are two attention-grabbing buildings worth seeing.

Don’t forget to visit the Kerameikos museum to learn more about the preserved graves. They also have several artifacts and sculptures from the cemetery conserved here. Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Athens itinerary 7 days.
