Essential to buy tickets online to avoid the very long lines since morning. Could definitely be improved by being able to make reservations online even for students, free of charge, since on site they don't give you information on exactly where (similar ATMs on the opposite side of the onsite purchases) to make them and so I love you grapple..

When booking the tickets there was no information about requirement to download the app for tickets and audio guide. This isn't always suitable for everyone. I prefer an email with the QR codes and an audio guide I can physically get at the ticket office.

The Acropolis site is a little bit unorganized....we didn't know if we can stand directly in line to unter or if we needed to take our tickets from the ticket office or some machin that was across the ticket office....so we was a little bit nervous untill we entered the site.

Hi! Tickets worked fine but the instructions for what we needed to do were just not clear. We thought we had a meeting place before getting in line. So we wasted about an hour of walking around trying to find something with Clio tours or Headout or some sort of sign. We didn't realize we were just supposed to get in the entry line. If it said that on the instructions I missed it. I did end up texting through What's App on what we needed to do and Clio tours responded quickly that we just needed to be in line for entry. Just a stressful experience that could have been easily avoided with clear instructions for getting in the entry line. Other than that, tickets were fine.

Loved the ease of redemptions. The beeline starts even before the allocated entry time. The only annoyance is having those bought tickets from ticket office same time cutting into the queue when you have been queuing all these while to get in. Can't they have a separate line instead of allowing them to chuck in as and when. Kinda defeats the purpose of skip the queue. Results in unpleasant and unnecessary experience when you ask the person to queue.

Your experience

Explore ancient Greek history

The Acropolis is a stunning Athenian temple complex located on a rocky outcrop above the city. Stop by the ruins of legendary structures like the Propylaea, the entrance to the ancient temple of Parthenon. Dedicated to Athena, the Parthenon’s main function was to shelter the monumental statue of Athena that was made by Pheidias out of gold and ivory.

Temples in the Acropolis

Wander across the once-sacred halls of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus will leave you in awe. The large amphitheater was built in AD 161 by wealthy Roman Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife Regilla and is still used to this day for concerts and other events. You have the option to include a mobile audio guide in case you're looking to add some insights to your tour.
