A great place to visit that’s a little bit further from the Acropolis than other sites, but still easy to access and worth a look, especially if you have the combi ticket. The cemetery is lovely to walk around, while the site also contains the remains of a temple and pottery workshops.

This was the last of the 7 archeological sites we visited that were included with our ticket. It was large and unique compared to the others. I felt like it touched on different aspects of Greek history, which I appreciated.

I came here because it was included in my combo ticket I got for the Acropolis. Except for the Acropolis itself and the Ancient Agora, this is definitely the most interesting place. If you don't want to rush through it, you should allow around 2 hours.

Very worth visiting if you have the combo ticket. The site is a ruins of an ancient pottery town, there's plenty of interesting stuff around to see. I particularly enjoyed the area that is filled with ancient tombs. There's also a museum on site that you can visit for no extra charges. It's filled with interesting artifacts that had been excavated from the site, be sure to check it out too.

Excellent site, very enjoyable. Ancients roads, city walls, gates, tombs…. and a tortoise. Info markers here are well done and help you visualize the past prior to ruin. Tombs and grave markers are interesting. Wall construction interesting. Site also has potable water well, welcome on a blazing hot July day.
