The Acropolis
The rock rises above the old city as a clearly defined empty shape. It is surrounded by the paths and ruins of the Agora and the tight streets of Plaka.

The map
About this Athens map poster
Athens fills a wide basin in Attica, enclosed by mountains on three sides and open to the Saronic Gulf on the fourth. The city is dense and almost continuous, and its streets spread in every direction until they reach the slopes of Hymettus, Parnitha and Penteli.
Within this web of streets, rocky hills rise as blank islands. The Acropolis is the most famous, with the Parthenon on its summit and the Ancient Agora and Plaka below. Lycabettus, taller and steeper, stands a little to the northeast. Around them runs the nineteenth-century triangle of the modern centre, framed by Ermou, Stadiou and Athinas streets, with Syntagma and Omonia squares at the corners.
To the south the city reaches the coast and the port of Piraeus. The Athens map poster that results is a portrait of one of the world's oldest cities, still planned around a sacred rock.

Historic triangle
The central district between Syntagma, Omonia and Monastiraki follows a triangular plan from the nineteenth century. It gives the centre a clear, recognisable geometry.
Hills in the grid
Lycabettus, Philopappou and other hills interrupt the dense street network. They appear as calm, open areas in an otherwise crowded print.

Why Athens
A map that means something
Athens is a city people return to again and again, for the history, the light and the neighbourhoods. A map of its hills and streets is an elegant reminder, whether you live there or once stayed for a summer.
