Tips for Visiting Stoa of Eumenes

  • Bring good shoes-the site is partly ruins and paths can be uneven and slippery after rain.
  • Go with a guide if possible; the stoa's architectural function (a covered portico) makes more sense when someone points out how businesses and politics overlapped there.
  • Visit in the late afternoon light when the columns cast long shadows across the ruins.
