Acropolis

Type: archaeological site / history

The Acropolis is the most important ancient site in Greece and a symbol of Western civilization. The complex includes the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and other temples that have dominated the Athens skyline for more than 2,000 years. It is best to plan your visit early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the worst heat and crowds. Allow at least 2 to 3 hours to explore the Acropolis and its museum.

Tickets

Entry: Tickets from ~20.00 EUR
Indicative price — confirm the exact amount before booking.
Tickets can also be purchased on-site.

In summer, bring water, a hat, and shoes with good soles — marble surfaces can be very slippery and hot.
