You'll also take in views of other key Athenian sites, such as the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Ancient Agora, the National Observatory of Athens, and the city’s scenic hills: Filopappou, Mars Hill, and the Pnyx.

Important Information

• If you have chosen the option without the entrance tickets kindly note that you will need to purchase the tickets before the activity at the time slot of the tour's departure time to ensure that you will be able to enter Acropolis with your group. Kindly note that if you are an EU citizen under 25 years old or a non-EU citizen under 18, you must obtain your free admission ticket online by visiting the official website of the archaeological site. As the monument operates with timed entry slots, there is no guarantee that free tickets will be available for your preferred time slot on the day of your visit. Therefore, we strongly recommend securing your ticket in advance, prior to your tour date. Please note that this tour is of moderate difficulty as the ascendance to the Acropolis, especially during summer, is very demanding and requires intense physical effort.
