The Temple Of Hephaestus
The Temple Of Hephaestus, is located in the ancient Agora. This was my favorite ancient site in all of Athens. It is one of best preserved of the temples in Athens, It nearly complete. Its location also adds to this amazing temple. It is tucked away in a small hill on far east side of the Agora surrounded by olive trees. All those things add to a feeling of of finding a hidden gem.
