Stop At: Benaki Museum of Islamic Art, 22 Agion Asomaton 12 Dipilou St., Athens 10553 Greece
Admire more than 8,000 works of art, including ceramics, gold, metalwork, textiles and glass, smaller groupings of bone objects, inscribed funerary steles and weaponry, as well as the marble-faced interior of a reception room from a 17th-century Cairo mansion.
