What travelers are saying
- Wilson Ang9 contributionsIt was quite a sight, where I’m grateful it was good weather during this time of the year. And appreciate the effort made by the government trying to restore the space. Did daily run up and it was worth the sight even if it was just outside. The outside was a good time to catch the sun rise as well, cooling and breath taking. A good time for me to do daily reflection too.Written November 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- becky1487Reading, UK58 contributionsLovely air conditioned building plenty of space to move around. Security on the door before tickets are brought etc. Underground 'city' is lovely to see.
Restaurant serves good food choice of meals or snacks. The still or sparkling water given is charged at €1.Written December 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

On this visit, we admired the view of the huge building from a lovely restaurant on the top of a hotel. This ancient building hovers over much of the city and is iconic.Written November 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gary A6 contributionsAmazing destination. Safe, fun, friendly. Food was tremendous. Surrounded by ruins and art at every turn. The acropolis is always in view and you can feel safe at all hours. People were all warm and welcoming. 100% recommend!Written November 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ANAND KSingapore, Singapore213 contributionsLove Olympics? Go here for sure. Steeped in history, this is one of the stops in the hop-on-hop-off tours, so it's easily accessible. It's really unique. Do bear in mind that while you can see some of the stadium from the outside, to go in, you need to take a ticket. I would say worth it.Written November 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 609RogerHSidmouth, UK344 contributionsWe were lucky that the temperature was in the low twenties so we could walk to the top. Just take your time and enjoy the views on the way up. I think this is much better than taking the funicular. There is also a greater feeling of satisfaction. The view of the Parthenon on the way is magnificent.Written October 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maxim C18 contributionsThe thing that stood the most is attention to detail in every aspect of human life. There are rooms worth of artifacts dedicated to sports, marriage ceremonies, burials, “everyday work” and obviously more common themes like grand construction, politics and war.
The “journey” begins deep back in the Neolithic and steadily progresses. Generally, each period is dedicated a room where you can spend hours.
Luckily, there is a cafe on premises with a decent snack. Which you’ll probably need, because even half a day is not enough in this place.Written November 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The details have been kept so well, and there is so much information made available so you can further appreciate the significance of this temple.
The people of Athens can be proud of this display in their city.Written October 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The highlight of the Ancient Agora is definitely the Temple of Hephaestus, which is one of the best preserved temples from ancient Greece. It's truly a beautiful building and we loved being able to visit it (we saw it from our hotel and were so excited that we later got to see it up close). There's also a very nice museum to visit that houses many artifacts from the site. Admission to the whole site is included in the Acropolis ticket and it's a great site to visit!Written November 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Govindraj UmarjiMumbai, India198 contributionsMy earliest recollection of The Acropolis is a telecast of Yanni performing Santorini there. It was a dream come true to visit this place 30 years after first seeing it.Written November 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Olga Porterfield35 contributionsThis a gorgeous "village" under the Acropolis which was build by the stonemasons and carpenters from the islands who had worked in restorations of the Acropolis temples. They created a mini island village in the middle of the bustling capital.
A pure delight.Written October 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The narrow streets are full of small shops, vintage items, and cozy cafés. Our walk was wonderful, especially with the beautiful view of the Acropolis, though it’s good to stay alert in some busier spots where it can feel a bit crowded. Despite that, it’s a unique experience, and we’d love to visit again!Written October 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gaye NPerth, UK514 contributionsWell worth the climb. We went up through the trees and not path set out, a bit scrambling needed but worth it for views every time we stopped to catch our breath. We made it to the monument. Views from here at a 360o degree angle cannot be beaten no other view of the Acropolis and all other the city can beat it. Wander back down proper path and you will find the Pnyx and Socrates prison. A highlight of our trip to be up here.Written October 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CPaM68Texas780 contributionsThe Porch of the Maidens is my favorite part of the Acropolis. On this last trip I had my three grandkids (ages 13, 12, & 10) with me, which made seeing it again even more special. What is the Porch of Maidens at the Acropolis? On the southwest side of the Erechtheion (temple) is the famous porch featuring six female figures, each 7 1/2 feet tall, called caryatids. In reality, they serve as architectural support columns holding up the porch. Although nicked and chipped, for 2,500 years the six sisters stood on the Acropolis, as wars and fires raged around them. Then in 1800, one of the maidens was kidnapped (removed) by an English ambassador and diplomat stationed in Constantinople (Istanbul), to decorate his mansion in Scotland. Legend has it that sometimes at night the remaining five caryatids could be heard crying for their lost sister. The kidnapped maiden was later sold to the British Museum and is now exhibited in the London Museum. The remaining five original maidens are now in the Acropolis Museum and the six figures currently holding up the porch are replicas. Even though the maidens in the Erechtheion are copies, this is still my favorite building in the Acropolis complex.Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- chiara c4 contributionsThe exhibition of the museum was really interesting and involving, a must if you are traveling with kids. Lovely staff as well, very helpful and ready to explain us the inventions.
