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

[@FrolicAndCourage]

No problem, KevIRL! I’m glad I was able to help you with your trip 😁 Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@myszorkaaa]

What an excellent and highly informative video, thank you so much! Can't wait for my trip to Athens

[@valeriegriffith3415]

Once again another wonderful vlog, I can't wait to see the next vacation you go on, much love ❤❤❤

[@FrolicAndCourage]

A new location is coming soon, Valerie! 😊❤️👍🏽

[@So-FarGone]

I can't seem to buy tickets for November =(. They are not available, maybe you need to wait for November 1st? Great video though! You explain everything so simply.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thank you for watching and for the compliment 😊 I’d check back on Nov 1 to see if the system will accept reservations since the hours change. In the alternative, you may be able to purchase tickets in person when you arrive or through a guided tour (3rd, party). Keep checking and I pray they open up, soon 🙏🏽

[@ronaldulibarri9498]

Very well done, very informative. Thank you!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thank you Ronald 😊 Glad it was valuable ❤️👍🏽

Thanks Doreen! Glad you enjoyed it and took the time to comment 😊❤️

[@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/

[@lisettewurster3648]

Hi there. I absolutely love your videos, and this one is excellent! I have a question for you. I’m planning a trip to Athens and Santorini for September of 2025. Was thinking of staying 5 days in both. Obviously 5 days in Athens should be enough to take some awesome tours, but is 5 days too much to just stay in Santorini? Should I look into day trips to other islands while there? I’m hesitant about that because it looks like such a headache taking the ferries. And would you recommend renting a car in either place? Any info would be appreciated. ❤

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hi Lisette! 10 days in Greece sounds like an awesome trip 😊 I think 5 days is plenty in Santorini. It gives you time to really soak in the island, wonder the streets, go on a catamaran day trip cruise, visit Oia & the Volcano, hang out at a beach, and just sit and enjoy life 😌 I I don’t recommend renting a car in Athens unless you absolutely need to. If you stay in a central location walking is usually faster and more enjoyable. If you have time, check out my Athens transportation video for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2XFZmeupbypoNE Getting around Santorini is…interesting from what I’ve heard. Some people recommend cars if you’re staying further away and others recommend renting a quad or bike, but those come with high risks to your safety (narrow, crowded streets and accidents). Once you have your itinerary together, I’d map out all the locations and see what your options are. Happy travels!!

[@lisettewurster3648]

Thank you so much. I agree with you on the renting a car. I did book in Santorini away from the craziness, so I’ll have to think about that one. Maybe just doing the buses will be a better choice idea. And as far as Athens, I have locations picked right in the central location, so yes, I think walking is the best bet on that. Now that you’ve answered my questions, I definitely feel better😅. 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!)

[@theadhdminimalist5060]

Hej I am trying to Find these free tickets for my kids who are EU citizens, but I am not finding free tickets. Do you have any tips.

[@theadhdminimalist5060]

If you need to pick up free tickets for kids for the acropolis how would that work if you booked an 8:00am time? Is the ticket office open early?

[@Logical0786]

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

[@Joe-mk2yq]

Great video! Thank you so much for it! 🤗 One question please, can i enter my Camera tripod with me inside the acropolis? And i have also a small mic, 8s that also allowed? Many thanks in advance! ❤

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks for watching! I believe tripods are not allowed, along with mics 🎤 I had a tiny two inch microphone and was politely asked by the staff to remove it. Other than that, cameras are allowed 📸 😊

[@Joe-mk2yq]

@@FrolicAndCourage Thank you so much for your reply! I see, I'll take my mic with me anyway, if they ask me to remove it, I'll just put in my bag! 😆

[@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.

[@tobiasbrizuela1312]

Wonderful vid - will but the General admission ticket, for sure. Did you say five thousand dollares for a private tour????? My gosh , who would pay that money???

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks! I agree, €5,000 is quite expensive 🫢 I can see maybe celebrities or those who REALLY want to guarantee a private experience paying for it.

[@katiekeenan5922]

Thank you this is so helpful :)

[@artismytherapy2613]

How can I skip the line? I buy 1-2pm ticket. Is there a separate line for people with online tickets?

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@parishajindal-p3u]

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 🎟️

[@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!

[@gregandvivienne]

i’m worried… i used your link to buy acropolis tickets and they have taken my payment but i haven’t received an email with tickets. i sent a few messages but haven’t had any response. could your link be corrupted?

[@gregandvivienne]

it’s ok… i found them in my junk email! thanks for all the great tips!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

So glad you found them and thought to look in the junk folder - I hate it when messages filter there!

[@jti2007]

Acro means highest place and polis is an urban center. So Acropolis means the highest point in the city. Many towns had an Acropolis but only Athens had the Parthenon

[@FrolicAndCourage]

@jti2007 thanks for the insight, jti!

[@ilovepuns140]

I just concluded my trip and thanks to you everything went relatively smoothly (except for the times when we couldn't find certain entrances lmao). I highly recommend buying the combined tickets because you get to see so many things for a fraction of the price. I'd like to add that I drank like 4 bottles of water on the way to the Parthenon so maybe keep that in mind :)

[@FrolicAndCourage]

I’m happy to hear you had a smooth trip and thank you for returning to share your tips and recommendations from your experience 😊 Haha, yeah…it is a HIKE to reach the Parthenon, for sure! Hydration is essential 💦

[@rocknmamma2666]

First time viewer. Very information I’ve been seeking. However, a suggestion for next videos you create Please slow down your speech. You shouldn’t have to rush. It was very hard to understand your narrative. If you view yourself and follow along with TRANSCRIPT you will see how often it misses what you’re saying. It became very annoying trying to analyze major details. But thank you for helping me to get ready for this trip in June 2025.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep it in mind for the next video and in the meantime, feel free to slow down the video speed with KZbin’s video controls. June is a lovely time to visit Paris - it was the month of my first trip ❤️

[@andrewarnold7345]

5000€ is crazy!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

It’s quite the price tag!🏷️

[@xstaticprocess-b2h]

Greeks liked to be called Romans during the Byzantine era. I am kind of confused with this part of history, because Romans have also been idololatric before Christ. Seems that Jesus made everyone a Roman and imagine he would be nearly killed by a Roman LOL. I kind of believe they were Byzantine Greeks rather than Romans, because Rome fell and was transfered in Constantinople. They wanted to distinguish ancient Greek idololatry with Christian Greeks.
