What amazing views. Much better preserved/restored than I had imagined. There were long queues to get in but we had pre purchased timed entry tickets so got in quickly. It did have some shady areas… Full review by YorkshireRHK

Q:
What website is best to buy tickets? We're a group of 4 going on June 23rd and would like to go as late as possible in the day. I'm looking at 2 websites ... Hellenic Heritage (tickets not available for our date yet and looks like later entrance times compared to the other website) and Acropolis Tickets & Tours by Headout (available for purchase now - latest time is 5pm). Any suggestions of where to buy the tickets? Also can't find what time it closes on June 23rd and the last possible entrance time. Suggestions?
A:
You can buy tickets at the entrance. My advice is to go early as it gets very crowded in the afternoon. Regards Craig

Does anyone know what time the acropolis opens on Tuesdays in September? Some websites say 8am. Others say on Tuesdays it doesnt open until 1pm, which seems unusual when it opens 8am the other days of the week. Can anyone advise? I plan on visiting on a Tuesday but dont want to get there for 7:30am if it doesnt open until 1pm. Thanks
A:
I am pretty sure it opens at 08.00 every day apart from the few days a year that it is shut. It is only the closing time that varies and that is with the seasons (available daylight). Would …

Would recommend getting there as early as possible as it gets very crowded. We went in mid September and it was packed by 10.00.
