Under the Sultans
5 stops · 30 min · 391 m
Half an hour round the outside of the Roman Agora, where a Roman marketplace became the middle of Ottoman Athens and every building survived by changing its job: a gate renamed for the bazaar, the Conqueror's mosque turned barracks and bakery, a school turned prison, a clock turned dervish lodge — and the one hammam that kept doing what it was built for.
