    Line was quick. No washrooms when you entered the area. So if you had to pee you had to hold it in the entire time otherwise you'd rush it.

    It is just awesome - loved it, walking in the footsteps of the giants through history is just incredible. Getting in at 8am was the best idea though as the by the time we were leaving it was getting very busy and oftenm tour groups gathered in clumps making it difficult to get passed.

    The tour was pleasant. I regret that the audio guide is not available in Spanish. To improve: the frequency of the buses, the number of buses, the compliance with the schedules; the last bus from the islands did not pass and we had to pay additional fare in another means of transportation.

    We arrived for the early opening for 9am and was able to enter from 8:45 so glad we did this as by the time we were ready to make our way down they were loads of people on the way up. So pleased we made the trip to walk around and see what went before us.

    It was amazing to walk around and admire so much beauty dating back so many years ... the acropolis is nothing short of wonderful .. the whole thing left us speechless. Athens is a fantastic city, recommended to visit once in a lifetime and of course to book a ticket to the acropolis. The majesty of the Parthenon left us breathless.
