Aventuras a Pie (de Página)Founded to commemorate the victory of the Battle of Actium, it included stadium, theater, odeon, temples, churches, walls and much more, some of these quite unique.
In this video we will explore the remains of the city and tell you a little about its history.
The Eleusinian Mysteries were initiation rites for the cult of the goddesses Demeter and Persephone, celebrated annually in the city of Eleusis, in ancient Greece.
They commemorate Demeter’s search for her daughter Persephone after she was abducted by Hades and taken to the underworld.
This sacred road included sanctuaries, temples, and holy sites, as well as numerous tombs and monuments…
In this video, we explore what remains of the ancient sacred road.
Update 2022-06-24:
The water company EYDAP informed us that the section shown in the video does not correspond to the sacred road and that no archaeological finds were made on that land.

The road that connects Athens and the Piraeus port has been very important through history.
Piraeus was one of the 2 historical ports of Athens, and it is, today, the most important port of Greece.
Around this road there were houses, temples, businesses and even cemeteries.Piraeus was, not only, an important source of income, through the collection of taxes, but also of food, something key to resist any siege.
That is why, at various times in history it was decided to build very long walls to protect this road.
In this video, we explore the few and hidden remains of the long walls of Athens.
We not only show the long walls, but temples, tombs, channels and for that we had to visit shopping centers (like Leroy Merlin), car dealerships, vehicular control centers, parks, abandoned lands.
