What would Athens have looked like at the time of the Byzantine Empire? Imagine a cluster of small houses built around the Acropolis, and narrow, winding streets covered with dust in the summer and turned into mud in winter. This is what Athens would have looked like when it was only a small and insignificant city of the empire. Today, thanks to this audio-guided walk, we retrace the ruins of the ancient monuments that still stand as a reminder of the city’s former glory.
