## Visit Temple of Hephaestos

Activities

---

---

#### Step back in time in this remarkably preserved piece of architecture, which has served as a Greek temple, a Christian church and a museum.

Tour the Temple of Hephaestus to see one of the best-preserved relics of the Ancient Greeks.

Walk up the small hill from the Agora and be rewarded with the solemn beauty of the Temple of Hephaestus. The building and its surrounding leafy park area offer shady respite from the hot Greek sun. Take your time and wander around the colossal 105-foot-long (32-metre-long) building.

Explore this superb example of Greek architecture and imagine what other classical buildings would have looked like with all their original fittings. The temple’s roof and marble colonnades are intact, and much of the interior is well preserved. Its magnificent condition is a result of its varied uses over the millennia, from Greek temple to Christian church and, in the 19th century, a museum.

Learn about the temple’s construction and history from the signs that surround the site. The signs, written in both English and Greek, detail the temple’s impressive classic architecture and show a precise plan of the building and maps of the site.

As you walk around, notice how the building is divided into three distinct areas. The east end of the enclosure is open, which allows the morning sun to illuminate the altar. Head to the side that faces the Agora to see the finest friezes in the area, depicting the labours of Hercules. The temple also has artwork paying tribute to the Greek god of volcanoes and metalworking.

The temple is located in the Roman Agora and is visible from the Acropolis, its shining white marble peeking out from behind the trees. Admission to the Temple of Hephaestus site is inexpensive, and the site is open daily until mid-afternoon. Thiseio metro station is just a 5-minute walk away, and several local buses serve the area.

9/10 Wonderful! (241 reviews)

Amazing friendly staff. Close to amenities and Acropolis is only a short walk away. Very noisy due to location on main street. Breakfast was great too at location next door. No view of Acropolis from hotel though as shown in pics. Some construction in area.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (447 reviews)

The location is absolutely beautiful, the food delicious and the staff were amazing and helpful. They even packed us takeaway breakfasts when we had early morning excursions. Not to mention the stunning beach and the wonderful view of the Temple of Poseidon. We visited at the end of the September and the water was still so warm. Such a hidden gem. We didn't want to leave.
