This was by far my most favorite ruin in Athens. There is SO much to see. It is just amazing. I liked it even better than the Acropolis. There are some well preserved buildings and ruins of houses.

The Agora is situation near the bottom of the Acropolis hill and is accessible with your tourist tickets. It is definitely worth seeing and is easy to get to. There is an exit path at the back of it leading to the pathway to the acropolis. more
