From the Odeon to Harbor Street

Start near the upper entrance. The Odeon hosted council meetings and small concerts; the neighboring State Agora was the administrative center.

The city’s sacred flame was kept here. Continue downhill toward Domitian Square.

The temple and surrounding buildings reflect imperial authority in the city. Continue toward Curetes Street.

Pause for a photo at Hercules Gate. Look for fountains, inscriptions and columns as you walk down Curetes Street.

Look closely at the reliefs on the facade. The nearby Terrace Houses are an optional detour requiring a separate ticket and extra time.

Study the statue replicas and two-story facade. Try a view from slightly to the right for photos, then look at the adjoining Gate of Mazeus and Mithridates.

Follow Marble Street to the theatre. From the upper rows, look toward the former harbor. The steps can be steep and slippery.

Follow the colonnaded Harbor Street toward the lower exit.
