SUMMARY:First Cemetery of Athens: An Open-Air Sculpture Gallery II
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nArchaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas leads a tour through the sculpture garden of the First Cemetery of Athens\, in collaboration with the This is Athens City Festival.\n\nBeyond the Sleeping Female Figure\nThe tomb of Sofia Afentaki—immortalised by Yannoulis Chalepas in his iconic sculpture The Sleeping Female Figure—is the most recognisable work in the First Cemetery of Athens. But it is by no means the only one worth discovering.\n\nThis walk follows an alternative route\, away from the central and well-trodden paths\, to uncover a quieter yet equally captivating side of Athens’ open-air sculpture gallery. Along its uphill alleys\, we’ll encounter the mausoleums of illustrious figures—spaces where mortals converse with immortals\, and grand visions of legacy meet the silence of eternity.
