Reserve my entry

This is full admission to the Acropolis of Athens — the Propylaea gateway, the Parthenon, the Erechtheion with its Porch of the Caryatids, the Temple of Athena Nike and the slopes with the Theatre of Dionysus. We reserve your entry for the single date and hourly slot you choose and send it to your phone, so you walk straight past the ticket-office queue to the gate.

What's included

Every booking includes the elements below — handled by our concierge team before your visit and confirmed at the gate.

• Acropolis of Athens entry — the full archaeological site: the Propylaea, the Parthenon, the Erechtheion with the Caryatids, the Temple of Athena Nike and the south-slope monuments • Timed-entry ticket — reserved for the date and hourly slot you choose • 5-minute audio history sent before your visit • Booking handled in your own language

Who this is for

This is standard full admission, ideal for independent travellers who want to skip the on-the-day queue and have everything handled. The standard ticket needs no passport or name. The operator sets its own reduced and free categories (for example for children and certain EU visitors), which may require ID at the gate — contact our team if you think one applies to you. Note the Acropolis Museum is a separate site with its own ticket.

On the day

The Acropolis is in central Athens — a few minutes' walk from the Acropoli metro on Line 2, or Monastiraki on Lines 1 and 3. Show your mobile ticket at the gate within your booked hour and climb through the Propylaea to the Parthenon and the Erechtheion before the groups arrive, then take in the views and the south slope. It's an open, shadeless marble rock, so bring a hat, sunscreen, water and sturdy non-slip shoes, and allow about 1.5 to 2 hours. The original Caryatids and Parthenon sculptures are in the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill if you want to make a full day of it.

Frequently asked

Is my ticket valid any time?
It's a timed-entry ticket — you choose your date and hourly slot when you book and we reserve that slot for you, shown on your ticket. Entry is valid for a single admission during that hour.
Is it skip-the-line?
Your entry is reserved before you arrive, so you go straight to the gate instead of queuing at the ticket office.
Is the Acropolis Museum included?
No — the museum is a separate site with its own ticket. Our ticket covers entry to the archaeological site on the rock only.
How do I receive it?
As a mobile ticket by email once confirmed — nothing to print.
How long should I allow?
About 1.5 to 2 hours on the rock, plus time for the heat in summer and the walk up from the metro.
