ANZAC veterans are here, it is beautifully maintained and a nice site. Would only recommend a visit if you were in the area or if you had direct interest to someone buried there

Through the imposing modern entrance we strolled around for about an hour, admiring the wonderful monuments to the departed. That of Heinrich Schliemann, one of the most famous ever archaeologists, is aptly in the form of a Greek Temple. We recognised many of the names with thoughtful memorials dedicated. Melina Mercouri's reflects the adoration she remains held in by her country. George Averoff, renowned philanthropist and businessman, has one of the most impressive dedications. Portrayed seated atop a multi-level creation in marble, it is a superb monument to such a life. Three Churches are here. At the entrance is the one of Saint Theodore, the largest. Greek Orthodox, it has a lovely façade in pale light azure hues.

Such a peaceful and wonderful place, right in the centre of Athens! The amount of history of this place is overwhelming. The is the burial place of the great Pericles, the starting point of the famous festivals, the main gate of ancient Athens... However, make sure to take a guided tour since there are no signs in the site and without someone to explain things to you, you will just see rocks and ruins. Also a good place for kids, since there are big turtles and place for them to play on the grass while you explore!
