How are the tickets sold?
Each site sells its own ticket on the official Hellenic Heritage ticketing portal. Full prices, all year round: Acropolis €30, Ancient Agora €20, Temple of Olympian Zeus €20, Kerameikos €10 (reduced tickets cost half). The Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library and the Lykeion are not included in this calculator: check the official portal for their prices and for any multi-site ticket currently offered.
Is the Acropolis Museum included?
No. The Acropolis Museum (one of Europe's finest museums) requires a separate ticket at €20 (reduced €10). This is well worth adding — it houses thousands of original sculptures and friezes from the Acropolis, including the famous Caryatids. Some booking platforms offer a bundled Acropolis + Museum ticket.
What about the Athens city pass?
A commercial Athens city pass bundles hop-on-hop-off bus access and entries into one ticket; its price varies by seller. It can be good value if you also want the HoHo bus for city orientation — but if you prefer to walk or use the metro, compare it with the official prices above before buying.
Tips for visiting the Acropolis
- Book tickets online in advance, especially in summer — queues at the gate can be 45–90 minutes long.
- Arrive early (opens 8am) or late (last 2 hours before closing) for smaller crowds and cooler temperatures.
- Entry is free on 6 March, 18 April, 18 May, the last weekend of September, 28 October, and on the first and third Sunday of each month from 1 November to 31 March; the Acropolis still requires a booked time slot.
- Wear sturdy shoes — the marble paths on the Acropolis rock are polished smooth and can be slippery.
- Bring water and sunscreen; there is almost no shade on the Acropolis hill itself.
