Keramikos Ancient Cemetery

11 acres of tombstones & graves

The ancient cemetery of Keramikos was built in 4th century B.C. and shows how the ancient Greeks regarded death.

For example, tombs with statues of pitchers symbolise unwed men were buried there, whereas large tombs shows us wealthier Athenians were buried here.

Look out for the statues of a frightening bull, a horseman, sirens and various human figures plus ancient jugs, perfume bottles, plates and urns that have been excavated.
