Truly memorable experience taking my retired architect father to visit the Acropolis Parthenon for his 80th birthday. A dream come true for him. Went earlier in the day to avoid the crowds. No pressure rushing to the top so plenty of time to take in the spectacular buildings and views from the top. Very easy to find and access and sunshine to top it off!

I loved the kindness of the staff on arrival. The Acropolis garden, but also the great theater, I loved the monuments and the sun reflected on the stone, the distinction between the color of the original stone and that of the restoration done by professionals.

Visiting the Acropolis was unforgettable. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, instantly making me feel welcome. The place itself is absolutely amazing—standing before the monumental Parthenon, I felt wonderfully small in the shadow of such timeless architecture.

    Visiting the Acropolis was unforgettable. Walking among the ancient ruins, I felt surrounded by history and grandeur. The Parthenon was breathtaking up close, and the views over Athens were incredible, making the climb absolutely worth it.

    It was an amazing time travel. Fortunately, there are no crowds. The information boards are sufficient. The view and the view are stunning. A fantastic experience, everyone should come once!

    The Acropolis has changed significantly. Fifteen years ago, not as much was cordoned off and there was more space for tourists. But despite everything, it's still a unique place to visit.

    Very impressed with the Acropolis complex. Great service at the entrance and friendly staff. However, there could be a little more signage in English here and there.
