    Wonderful experience. I took the latest slot. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful and funny. Wish it wasn't under construction but its a great reason to go back again one day when it is not. The views were great, the crowds moved quickly and I didn't feel there was a lot of wait time anywhere. Great team that keeps this place running!

    Booking tickets in adcance was very worth it. I was on a cruise and got into Athens centre at about 9.30. By tbe time we had walked up the hill to the ticket office they were selling tickets for the 1pm entry as all earlier tickets had sold out.

    We went right in the morning at 8, and got in line about 7:30 to ensure we'd be there before major crowds and the sun, and super glad we did! We spent about an hour and enjoyed looking at all the ruins.

    We purchased tickets in advance online and arrived shortly before our scheduled entry time. We waited for a short time to be allowed to enter (maybe 10 minutes). It was somewhat crowded at 5 pm, but the crowds were easy to navigate with and through. It did not affect our enjoyment. The site is amazing to see in person! You can see te entire city. Of Athens and surrounding areas out to the sea. We visited in mid June and it gets SUPER hot so prehydrate and everyone take water. There are spots you can sit and take rest breaks in a bit of shade.
