I arrived at 7:20 for an 8 o'clock entry. I was one of the first people there. This gave me time to soak it all in. By 7:30 people began arriving. By 8:00 there was a line down the hill. The morning sunrise over the Acropolis is amazing.Robert

Very easy to book. We went (to the Acropolis) fairly early (9.30am)..so the crowds were very manageable. The site itself was fabulous...could recommend to anyone who is interested in history/architecture etc.Laurie

Everything was amazing. It got so crowded tho i wonder if there should be a cut off of the amount of groups allowed at one time. I feel like the large groups really clog things up so the crowd might have more related to that. Especially going into the gates and out. We did 9am and if we where a moment later it would been even more crowded. Definitely earlier is better! The whole acropolis is simply amazing. The museum feels like things are more open and not as cramped. Beautiful museum. We loved it!
