A half-day tour of about 4 hours, during which you can visit the Jewish Museum and the old and new Athens Synagogues. The unique collection of the Jewish Museum of Greece includes more than 8,000 objects, the oldest of which are textiles and antenuptial contracts from the 16th century, Clothes and household items comprise the core of the Museum’s ethnographical character and offer a vivid picture of everyday life in the Greek Jewish communities from the mid-18th until the 20th century.
The Jewish Community of Athens has two functioning synagogues, both on the same street facing each other, in the area of Thission, near the city center. The older of the two is the Romaniote one, built in 1904 and right across the street, is the newer and larger, Beth Shalom Sephardic synagogue, built in 1935, renovated in the ’70s, and the one fully used today.
