Kerameikos - the biggest and most important necropolis in Athens stretches along Ermou Street, near the junction with Pireos Street.
Kerameikos is named after Keramos, son of Dionysios and Ariadne, hero of potters. The area was used continuously for burials from the twelfth century BC for a thousand years.
There is a small museum to the left of the site entrance with pottery, sculptures and right next to it is a collection of pillars which were grave markers.
The Kerameikos doesn't offer for me very much. When I visiting some place, I want to see and get feelings ... Kerameikos doesn't offer me all this, ... sorry! :(
Of course I haven't be sorry, that I was in there. There was museum, where you can see the nice pottery, and finds from the excavations. When you walking in there, you can see the street of tombs with some beautiful grave monuments ...
You can visit the Kerameikos with the Acropolis ticket. Prices look from my Acropolis tip.
