Municipality of Maroussi cooperates with Peripatos to launch a series of cultural interactive routes. We aim at introducing everyone to the rich cultural heritage and tradition of one of the most ancient municipalities of Attica, as well as to spend their leisure time constructively and pleasantly.

In the first route of the «The Roads of Culture» programme, entitled “Athmomon-Amarysia: A City of 3000 Years”, we will highlight the few remaining ancient findings that are an integral part of the later history of the city. Like the Virgin Mary of Neratziotissa which was built in the ancient temple of Artemis or Saint John of Pelica erected on the foundations of a Roman temple in honour of the goddess by Herod. While using as main axis the Byzantine churches, we will refer to both the ancient and recent past of the city, as well as its contemporary identity.
