What travelers are saying
- Chuck NMarietta, GA44 contributionsIf you’re in Athens, seeing the Acropolis is a must. As of September 2023, you must buy a time slotted ticket to enter, meaning you enter within an hour window. This helps limit the crowds, but understand that there are CROWDS! But this is still one of the best places to see in Greece! The view of these architectural marvels is breathtaking. The view of Athens is unrivaled.
It is best to come first thing in the morning - it is cooler in the summer. Bring water with you.Written September 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We enjoyed the Museum as it helped to fill in some the gaps and the displays are fascinating. The sculptures and art is impressive. The excavations under the Museum are worth viewing. The venue can be crowded and having a guide to explain certain features is highly recommended.
It is definitely worth pre-booking tickets to avoid the queues. If we had had more time in Athens, we may have done the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum on different days.
An excellent museum.Written September 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We booked a wee tour with GetmyGuide. The guide was very informative and great value.Written September 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dreamer14634021965London, UK5 contributionsIt was probably the best area we visited during our staying in Athens. Everything looks so nice.
It gave was the impression of ancient Athens?
Nice small tavernas and Cafes as wellWritten September 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We really enjoyed viewing all the different statues, though there were a lot more funeral monuments than Greek god statues than I would’ve thought. Definitely worth a trip, but the acropolis museum is more interesting!Written September 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eric S40 contributionsBreathtaking views across Athens with a small Chapel on top. Save your money and walk.

- RazorfishLittle Rock, AR3,609 contributionsHistoric stadium dating from the 4th century B.C. We stopped off during a Viking excursion to Athens. I thought it was amazing to have the stadium where the first modern Olympics was held on the site of the historic stadium. It was spectacular to have a view of the Acropolis in the background.Written September 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Temple of Hephaestus, located on the northwest side of the Ancient Agora of Athens, was a sacred site dedicated to the god of craftsmanship, metal, and fire. It is one of the better preserved ancient structures, and architecture is stupendous: including intricately laid out and decorated marble ceiling.
The whole temple appeared to be meticulously carved from marble, and it is marvelous that one could walk 360° all the way round the temple with only a rope cordon that is just about a meter away from the marble walls.
The Temple of Hephaestus offers a glimpse into the religious practices of ancient Greeks and their reverence for Hephaestus, the god of invention and craftsmanship.
The intricate marble columns reflect the architectural style of ancient Greek temples and the artistic excellence prevalent in their construction methods.
I would have loved to see a 3D model of what this temple looked like in ancient times or even have an immersive virtual visit. I guess such extra trappings would come in the future. , For now, this site is included in the Ancient Agora ticket, and for me, it is its crown jewel.Written September 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The temple of Hephaestus is the highlight and I’d suggest getting an audio guide for the agora.Written September 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RazorfishLittle Rock, AR3,609 contributionsThe Erechtheion is the second largest temple on the Acropolis. It consists the Porch of the Caryatids with statutes of six maidens on one side and Ionic columns on the other side. It is not as crowded as the area around the Pantheon. There are great views of the city.Written September 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- RazorfishLittle Rock, AR3,609 contributionsThe Herod Atticus Odeon is an impressive theater built into the hillside below the Acropolis. They were preparing it for a concert as we viewed it walking up to the Acropolis. From above, it is marvelous looking down from the top.Written September 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RazorfishLittle Rock, AR3,609 contributionsAnafiotika is a small neighborhood at the base of the Acropolis in the Plaka. It has narrow walkways going up and down the hills with several restaurants and residences. My wife and I had dinner on the roof of one of the restaurants and enjoyed the full moon rising with the Acropolis lit up behind us. It was enthralling.Written September 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Adam DLiverpool, UK396 contributionsYou can see the full 360 degrees from the top of this hill ( by the monument ) including looking over the acropolis and the other historic sites by it. Not too difficult a walk up with lots of shade.Written September 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travel PugsSan Antonio, TX15 contributionsGreat location for seeing the sites in Athens. Superb breakfast worth 15-20 euros for two persons. A great selection to accommodate most any appetite. Friendly staff. Metro line closeby (300m). Many good restaurants and I recommend Bandiera.Written June 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- RazorfishLittle Rock, AR3,609 contributionsThe Temple of Athena Nike is the small temple on the right as you enter top of the Acropolis. It has Ionic columns and is fairly simple, but is well preserved. It is not the Erechtheion temple with the statues of the women. They are two different temples.Written September 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
