How could you rate this building anything less than excellent

The Parthenon has been a treasured structure for centuries, for good reason; it's an architectural masterpiece that has survived in strikingly good condition. The climb up that hill might look daunting, but it's not so hard. Just take it slowly. There is an elevator for...More

Parthenon is Fabulous!

The Parthenon, which resides on the Acropolis, is a must see for any visitor to Athens. Best to buy your tickets online before you leave home for an early-morning visit. I would recommend a tour to get insight from the guide. The Parthenon is amazing...More

Beautiful ruins of ancient temple

Dedicated to the Goddess Athena, this is the most famous structure in all Athens. It is located within the Acropolis on the top of a hill and so is visible from far. Only the base, columns and lintels of the original structure are still standing....More

Top site of Athens, the reason to visit the city!

Wonders of the ancient Greek culture revealed in the complex of temples built on the Acropolis hill, rising over the Agora and the city. The Parthenon is the most impressive, although very damaged, example of the glorious architecture and beauty of those times. Be sure...More

Just amazing

This is the place where Athens gets all its energy. It is amazing how they built it and a must see in Greece. The price is quite high - 20 euro/person and includes a few other sites. (Not the New Acropolis museum). I strongly reccomend...More

See the Parthenon early

We got to the Parthenon around 9 am. This was great because we avoided much of the crowds and were able to view and take pictures without a bazillion people around.

Feel the history

For your visit, it’s recommended wear comfortable shoes and be ready to walk a lot, it’s worthy! See and feel centuries of history in this place. You can visit also the museum and continue to Plaka to enjoy a very well deserved dinner.

I'm going to be in Athens in September and only have a few hours in the afternoon. Are the lines going to be long to get in? Is there any way to make sure we see the Acropolis (and museum) without paying for an expensive private guide?

April 19, 2019|

Answer

Acropolis will take 2 to 2.5 hours if you want to see all the slopes. There are lines to buy the ticket and to get in but you can actually buy the ticket to online or before hand so you can avoid the line to buy your... More
