With prepaid tickets we got to skip the line and used them days after seeing the acropolis. So we didn't have to fit all the walking into one day which was nice. The information was interesting on the app. The app wasn't perfect. It's best to look at the map and confirm the place and don't move while listening to it or it will start over or skip. Don't print the tickets as they scan easily from your phone. It's super busy. We went at 9am and it was packed. I would come closer to sunset next time

The pass includes all the best spots in Athens at a reasonable price. It is flexible and gives you a few days to get it all in as wellAngela

It was great! The purchase of the past is not very clear for the Acropolis part (it should be specified that this is the time slot for visiting the acropolis and that the other sites can be visited when you wish). Otherwise, the audio guides available with the tickets are very good.View original review in French

Loved the early morning time slot for the Acropolis. I didn't do all the attractions, just the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora, which were both outstanding. Loved the accompanying audio guide and map in the Key Tours app. Customer service were brilliant when I wasn't originally emailed the ticket nor could get the app to download the pdf. Only thing to improve in would be to make the ticket run over 2 days. One day is not quite long enough to do all attractions on the ticket and in the summer months (I'm here in September) would be too hot in the middle of the day to be out in the sun.
A temple for one of the oldest gods
Dedicated to the chief of the mighty Olympian Gods, the Temple of Olympian Zeus was envisaged to be the greatest temple in the ancient world at the onset of its construction in the 6th century BC. However, the world did not see the structure in all its glory till the construction was completed around 638 years later by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD. With 104 towering columns and two colossal statues (one of Zeus and one of Hadrian himself), the temple was the largest in the country.
Explore at your own pace
Alas, its days of glory were short-lived. In the 3rd century AD, the temple was pillaged by barbarians. After this, it fell into disuse and was possibly never repaired. Even as a ruin, the temple is a sight to behold and is one of Athens' most important archaeological sites. Explore the site at your own pace, as you try to envision how magnificent the temple would have been with all its columns and statues. The multilingual audio guide delves into the temple's history and its influence on later architecture and art, highlighting its enduring influence.
