Top Ten "Unknown" Greek Destinations: #7 - Kerameikos (Keramikos, Ceramicos) Cemetery
Beginning not far from the Acropolis, this ancient cemetery holds hundreds of monuments, many of them very beautiful, with some of the best images being plaster copies of originals safely stowed in museums, including the on-site Kerameikos Museum. Seeing them in their proper places on the Street of the Tombs is moving, and if you need a moment of melancholy to offset the intoxicating Greek sunshine, this may be the place. The earliest burials date back to 1200 bce.
