Visiting the Site and Museum

The site, the Stoa of Attalos and the finds from the excavations are the property of the Greek State, and are administered by the 1st Ephoreia of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities of the Greek Archaeological Service. Although the excavation offices are not open to the public, choice objects from all periods of the history of the site are on display in a museum on the ground floor of the Stoa. Displays include important remains of Bronze and Iron age burials from the earlier periods, and objects from Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times representing the post-classical Agora.
