Well, I gave the Agora a good review but I would truly only try to squeeze it in If you have just tons of free time. I am not 100% but pretty sure you must pay admission for the Ahora to get in Hephestos. It was a beautiful day too when we walked the Agora so if hot, I would spend more time in the Acropolis museum which is fantastic. Enjoy Athens!! Hope this helps.
