Aventuras a Pie (de Página)This paragraph contains an embedded YouTube video. In this video we explore the main Roman and Hellenistic ruins in Thessaloniki.
Thessaloniki was an imperial capital during the Tetrarchy and suffered an important construction boom, where several of the structures arrived to our days.
The Rotonda of Thessaloniki is one of the best-preserved buildings of the Roman Empire that has come to our days.
In this video, we tell its story as well as explore it inside.
We visited the sanctuary of Eleusis in detail, including its renovated archaeological museum, as well as the other ruins in the city, including the sacred path.
On our adventure for the day, we explore destinations in the vicinity of Athens that are only accessible by car.
We have beaches, ruins, fortresses and even a royal palace. These sites are: Seal Cave, Heraeus of Peracora, Lake Vouliagmeni, Sousaki Volcano, Fili Fortress, Eleuteras Fortress, Porto Germeno, Aliki, Amphiareus, Ramnous, Lavrio Mines, Salamis and Tatoi.

The “sunken city” of Old Epidaurus/Palea Epidavros (in Greek) is probably the most popular and known of the underwater ruins of Greece.
However, and unknown to the general public, there are other ruins in the vicinity beyond the famous “Roman villa” and the buildings that surround it, and in this video we will explore those ruins.

In this video, we explore an abandoned Roman quarry with several giant columns, high up on a mountain, near the city of Karistos, in the Euboean region of Greece.
The region was very well known and desired in antiquity for its marbles, which adorned the entire Roman world, from Rome to Constantinople.
Today, the region is known in Greece for the stone, to which it calls “Plaka Karistou”.
The quarry that we filmed had 9 enormous columns, plus some smaller columns and others unfinished.
Today we are going to travel to the Peloponnese to visit part of one of the most unknown aqueducts in Greece, the aqueduct of Corinth.
It had 85 kilometers in length and was probably the longest aqueduct in all of Greece.
It was built by order of Emperor Hadrian, connecting one of the 3 springs that feed the Lake Estinfalia with Acrocorinth.
The very curious thing is that we couldn’t find a single photo or video.
Only the work of research by the archaeologists.
Originally it had 23 bridges, of which only 4 are preserved intact and one is only large.
This bridge is 41 meters long and preserves its 2 rows of arches.
Unfortunately the area is not cared for; it is full of garbage and with the vegetation very overgrown.
Acrocorinth is one of the largest Greek acropolises and one of the most important medieval fortresses in Greece.
In this video, we take a tour and explain part of its complex history…
