The National Archaeological Museum is the best museum in Athens.
My favorite part was the display showing arrowheads excavated from
the battle of the 300 Spartans who battled the Persians (made popular
in the movie "300"). It is located to your left as you enter the accessible
museum entrance.




                                                      www.sagetraveling.com
Is there a wheelchair accessible entrance? Yes, on the north side of
the museum on Herakleios Emperor Road there is level access into
the museum.
Is the door push/pull, revolving, automated by a button, or motion
activated? You will need to knock on the door so that a staff
member can open it from the inside.




                                                www.sagetraveling.com
