[@JeannievieWoods]

Hi! Thanks so much for your informative video! I didn’t see the link for guided tours for before the park opens @ 7-9am for the 5000 euros? I appreciate the shared info!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks for the reminder, Jeannievie! I posted the video a few weeks before the ticket days went live but it is available now. Here’s the link: experiences.hhticket.gr/product/the-acropolis-experience/

[@placideyes]

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thank you for your beautiful review, Jeannie! 🥰😁❤️

[@Logical0786]

Great video. Thanks for sharing all the tips, however was not able to find link to Rick Steves’ Acropolis audio. Please share. Thanks

[@samuelroka7970]

Just a heads up, you can actually buy free tickets (that cost 0 euros) on the website you mentioned as official in the description, its for EU up to 25 years :)

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Yes! EU citizens up to 25yrs old can book free tickets online (so jealous!)

[@soochrmd]

Nice and concise. Great tips. A question related to combo ticket- I would like to ask if i buy the combo ticket for May 12th, can i still visit the other places(than Acropolis) on May 11th,10th and irrespective of the time?

[@eulaahah7051]

This is also my question. Any update regarding this?

[@apexapatel6594]

Thank you for the wonderful vlog. I am planning to visit Athens in this June. I am confuse for buying tickets. I want to visit Acropolis, Parthenon and other sites too. If I buy one day Acropolis ticket would that allow me to visit all of that places include Parthenon? Thanks in advance.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks for watching Apexa 😊 When you buy a one day ticket to visit the Acropolis (remember - the Acropolis is the large hill), you gain entry to view all the structures that are located on the Acropolis Hill, including the: - Parthenon - Erechtheion - Temple of Athena Nike - Odeon of Herodes Atticus - Propylaea - Theater of Dionysus, etc. If you purchase the 5-day ticket, you gain entry to the Acropolis (with all the structures on the hill) and other ancient sites around Athens (not located on the Acropolis hill) listed in the video. Hope this helps!

[@laplet8262]

From what other videos have said, and I believe the website says, the time on your ticket is actually the beginning of your one hour time slot and then you have 15 minutes of leeway on either side of that hour. So, a 9 am ticket should allow you to enter any time between 8:45 and 10:15. Is that your understanding? Thanks

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Correct! You have 15 minutes leeway on either side of your time slot. So, if you purchase a 9-10am slot, you can enter anytime between 8:45-10:15am.

[@user-rs7ob9ew5u]

Hi , for the free days is it guaranteed that you will get a ticket from office or it is first come first serve ?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey!! The tickets are first come first served 🎟️

[@enginersoz]

I want to see Acroplis on August 22 at 09:00. But I want to see the other points on the combined ticket on August 21. There is no ticket option like this. If I buy a ticket for the 22nd, will I be allowed to enter these places on the 21st?

[@eleniasimop]

You may buy a combined ticket for the Ancient Agora for 21 which includes also the Acropolis and visit It the other day.

[@enginersoz]

@@eleniasimop There is no combination ticket option for Ancient Angora, only single tickets are sold for this place. The combined ticket is available as Acropolis & Slopes and requires a time slot here too. I think this time slot for the Acropolis entrance.

[@lizs502]

Where are the shuttles? Is there one near the metro station? Is there only one metro stop?

[@eleniasimop]

There is a metro station named Acropolis which is practically outside of the Acropolis museum and near the entrance to the Acropolis it self. Very easy to find.
