Audio guide – Discovering Ancient Athens with the red line metro (M2)

Athens is a city with over 3,000 years of history, having been inhabited by the Mycenaeans, the ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Ottomans, and countless other temporary invaders.

The remains of these early inhabitants, like so many other historic cities, lie underground, covered by modern buildings.

What almost no one knows is that many of these remains can be seen, if you know exactly where to look.

In this audio guide, we’ll travel back in time to Ancient Athens and explore its ruins in a very unusual way, using the red metro line, stopping at four stations, and visiting at least ten points of interest.

This audio guide lasts between 60 and 120 minutes, including travel time between stations.

Narrated by Esteban
