House in a small stone villa, the Kifisia Archeological Museum offers a small but interesting collection of artifacts. Until recently, there was no official archeological work going on in this suburb. After all, it is a commercial and residential district. But recent construction work in former farmlands and fields has brought to light several interesting Greco-Roman finds, mostly from the time of Herod Atticus.

In the center of Kifisia, right on Kifisias Avenue an ancient Roman tomb was discovered when construction for a commercial building was begun. The two sarcophagi have been left in situ, encased in a glass-paned structure for protection. You can visit the remains simply by standing on the street and looking in, no entrance fee required!
The archeological evidence indicates that this tomb belonged to the family of Herod Atticus, who was responsible for the ancient Greco-Roman theater below the Acropolis in downtown Athens, which is still in use. More relics from the times of Herod Atticus can be seen at the small collection of the Kifisia Archeological Museum (see tip below).

This is the only natural history museum in Athens. There are two buildings - the Museum with the permanent collection, and the Gaia Center which features special exhibits.
This is a favorite with young children. Unfortunately the opening hours are only in the mornings.

Kifisia is a commercial and residential suburb about 20 km north of Athens. In Greek it is the ultimate VP (Voreio Proastio = northern suburb), and home to many Athenian VIPs. Why visit Kifisia?...
