Parthenon

Under construction as of February 11. Lots of work going on all around and I’m guessing it will be continuing for a while. Still, a great view of the city. Amazing ruins. Quite breathtaking. Worthwhile to book an early tour and be some of the first in for the day.

We had an excellent time. I'd highly recommend buying tickets in advance in summer time. This was one of my favourite attractions for sure definitely add it to your itinerary

My family and I visited the Acropolis/Parthenon back in February 2020. Here we are again 5 years later! We scheduled this visit as winter is low season but to our dismay, many had the same thought. It’s fortunate that we arrived around 9.30am. Right behind us were several tour groups! Tip: Please use the restroom facility before entering as it’s much cleaner than the one on top. Cleaning staff have their hands full with busloads of tourists. Imagine summer time… Much better walkway as road leading to the Parthenon were paved. Preservation does come with a cost. The structure/structural buildings/sites are still being restored and whatever excavated or salvaged are still being sorted out. It’s like a big jigsaw puzzle without the map. Better and clearer signage to inform visitors of impending danger from falling or slippery areas. More security personnel are spotted too, to keep those more adventurous or in my opinion, mischievous souls in line. Food is prohibited in the acropolis as it should be because those irresponsible ones littered everywhere. I noticed some areas (old stones steps, structures and excavated material) have gums and graffiti on them. Noticed an elevator for the physically challenged or disabled. It’s great that they are not left out. Everyone should have a chance to visit this magnificent site.

Breathtaking view and history are here. I truly enjoyed my first visit in the beginning of November. It was not too crowded and the weather was nicely warm and I booked my bundle ticket for 16-17h. All the staffs are gentle and nice. I recommend you to go to the restroom before you tap your ticket.

Iconic location that has huge historical significance, it’s a place that has been torn apart through history but still manages to stand, there’s occasional scaffolding on the structure so maybe check that out if you want a clear picture. I enjoyed most seeing the Greek Flag flying high with this behind it, I found it rather moving. It is easy to get inside and there’s a basic system to follow to get inside. No complaints and only compliments, anyone who visits Athens should come here, it is the centrepiece.

The one that you 100% need to visit when you come to Athens. I would advise visiting in the Winter so you don't have to deal with the insane crowds and buy the combined ticket instead of just visiting the Acropolis alone. Walk around and enjoy the views and get lots of pictures for Instagram like I did 😂

If you can swing it, definitely try to go in the early morning or towards the afternoon. It’ll make the pictures taken there much better. Amazing to see the site so well preserved.

Incredible historic site with stunning views of greater Athens. It's a must visit historical site, as millions of people already know. 25,000 visitors per day make for crowded picture taking. Steep steps and well worn (slippery) rocks are everywhere, so take caution. I did see wheelchairs at the top of the Acropolis, so it appears to be accessible. A bit of a line for tickets, so maybe purchase in advance. Well worth your time to visit.
