Customer Reviews
Buy tickets online, maybe in advance if you go on the weekend otherwise you can do it once you arrive. We had no line on Friday. It's expensive but a must see in Athens. We recommend sneakers since there's a lot of rocky floors and actual rocks around the structures- I've seen a woman wear heels and fall before so trust me. Not recommended to purchase a tour, just download an app with navigation and information. It was really nice and we could take our time sitting and watching. Not many bathrooms and no cafe, however there is a cheap water bottle vending machine at the top, 50 euros. I am giving it a 3.5-4/5 because of the cost compared to other countries' tourist/historic monuments- it's high. I agree with the other reviewer that it just doesn't seem justified given what you can see: they should include the museum in the fee because the museum is small and overpriced. It was neat to see everything but it's very destroyed, it's a shame. You can see the lighter areas on the structures are the rebuilt areas. It was cool to see the workers actively restoring while we were there. It was a cloudy day but not hot- perfect! Also saw 2 cats. I think if we dressed as a cat we could've snuck in?
I got there early in the morning, before all the crowds, and it was really nice. Met this glorious keeper of the Acropolis on the walk up to the top. Very dashing! On the way out, it was around 10am and all the tour busses and students were surging in and the crowds were insane. I'm glad I picked the 1st appointments in the morning, as I got to see the sunrise and hardly any people to clog everything up.
Now I understand when my Greek friends say they cannot afford their heritage. First, the site is really nice to see, but the cost is way too steep. Your entrance costs a crazy 30€ and that is just for this sight. A quick calculation of the main sights to see in Athens and You'll be spending over 112€ to see the main ones. Is the 30€ entrance fee worth it? In my opinion no. While the location looks great from a far it does suffer with quite a few problems: The condition of there ruins aren't the best, other sites in other countries are in better conditions than the acropolis. The layout of the place is bizare. With the entrance you gain access to ground around it and below and to access some areas you have to go through a narrow path that operates on both directions of incoming and oncoming visitors to the site. You will find that there are multiple visitors to the site and you will have to queue and even wait inside the location. Also, a few areas where closed off which made some things innaccesible and for all traffic to flow through one narrow path instead of two. A lot of these sights have some metal frames around them for the restoration, you may find it hard to get a good picture. All in all, see it from a far and check pics on internet
