I will definitely go to the ticket office of the Acropolis at around 8am, but I won’t be able to reach other places that early, so I was wondering if you know how long the lines can get in ticket offices in other sites such as the Acropolis Museum, the National Archeological Museum or Mychenae in other times of the day. I wouldn’t want to waste too much time just waiting in line 😅 thank you in advance!

After the museum we took subway to acropolis for the 4pm appointment. It was still hot (even for us from Arizona), but less crowded. After that we explored the neighborhood and took the subway back to the port, took a bus close to the cruise terminal and walked the remaining distance. We had a great day in Athens. THANKS to YOU!

Hi Seb. Last month a visitor cap was instituted at the Acropolis (and not the other sites AFAIK) and when you buy either a single ticket or combo ticket, it will ask you to select a time period for that day. Does that mean that we are now forced to use the combo ticket first for the Acropolis? Our plan is to visit the Kerameikos the before, then the agoras the following day before we go to the Acropolis in the late afternoon to cap our day. We are now confused as to what day and time to chose? If we chose the day and time we want to visit the Acropolis does it mean that we can no longer visit the other sites the day or the times prior? If we chose the day and time for the Kerameikos, will we be able to enter the Acropolis the following day at any time? PLease advise. Thanks.

Sorry to be a bother. So we would still need to wait in line to get a ticket, as there is no reserving them ahead, correct? Can you still enter the back, less populated entrance to Acropolis?

Yes, specifically in 2024 Labour Day will be celebrated on May 7th, meaning that for once May 1st is a normal day, with all sites remaining open.

My fiancé and I are visiting Athens next month and your videos are a huge help with our planning. Thank you for all the great tips! Do you know if the Acropolis has free entry on 18 May for international tourists? I don't want to purchase tickets in advance if we can also get in for free on International Museums Day. Thanks!

Hi Seb! Thanks so much for all your videos, they have been so important to planning my family’s Greece trip in early June :) as I’m thinking of purchasing the youth reduced price ticket to enter the Acropolis, would the ticket office be opened from 8am onwards as well? What is the expected crowd like at 8am in the morning during early June please? Thank you in advance 🙏

Hi, very informative video. It's mentioned above that Oct. 28 (OXI Day) is free entry at the Acropolis. I plan to visit the site that day, do i need to get a free ticket (where to get) or just walk in at the entrance? Thanks in advance

You need to go to the ticket booth and get your free paper ticket, and then walk in. Expect some serious lines though.

@@GreeceExplained I decided to just buy the combo ticket and do the Acropolis the day before the holiday. I will choose late entry to Acropolis as there will be 4 cruise ships that day. Incase I cannot visit the 7 archaeological sites included in the combo ticket on day 1, I can skip the line the next day (free sites day), right? I don’t need to line up for free tickets.

Great video Seb! Do you know if the free entrance for du citizens include people who has turned 25? The website is abit confusing and it is either free for people during their 24th year or also their 25th year. For example being born 1998-03-14, is it still free? Many thanks for your insights!

hi sebestian, very informative video, coincidently we are reaching Athens on 17th and planned to visit acropolis on 18th may, as u written 18th may is free for all than do we directly enter there or we need any more registration for this and also if we need guided tour than how much do we need to pay.
@GreeceExplained
@GreeceExplained Жыл бұрын
No need for any registration. Just go get your free ticket at the ticket booth, and then enter the site. If you want a guided tour, book one which does NOT include the ticket, otherwise you're paying extra for no reason. This is the one I would recommend in this case : bit.ly/3M5G3Gj ("Athens: Acropolis and Parthenon Guided Walking Tour")
