I loved the ease of booking online and skipping the ques at the ticket office. The attraction itself was everything and more that I thought it would be, to stand on such sacred history and feel the past around you was a humbling experience. The audio guide however would not work and it kept telling me to buy it again for €17.99 so I missed out on that knowledge but read all the signs instead.

After trying to navigate and find the audio guide, it would not download and was not available. We tried in advance to do it, as we read the internet service was poor in the area, however we were not able to figure it out and ended up not being able to use the audio guide even though we paid for it.

It was hard to have my location and the audio synchronized/aligned. I was more frequently in a different location than the audio.

Very easy to get tickets and use them. A little sad that the audio guide that came with the Parthenon ticket was for Plaka Village not the actual Parthenon.

Explore ancient Greek history

The Acropolis is a stunning Athenian temple complex located on a rocky outcrop above the city. Stop by the ruins of legendary structures like the Propylaea, the entrance to the ancient temple of Parthenon. Dedicated to Athena, the Parthenon’s main function was to shelter the monumental statue of Athena that was made by Pheidias out of gold and ivory.

Temples in the Acropolis

Wander across the once-sacred halls of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus will leave you in awe. The large amphitheater was built in AD 161 by wealthy Roman Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife Regilla and is still used to this day for concerts and other events. You have the option to include a mobile audio guide in case you're looking to add some insights to your tour.
