Make sure to take some water with you to this Archaeological find. Athens is hot and its a climb to the top. Don't make the same mistake we did, there is no water available on the way up!! more

We just returned from a trip to Greece and went to see the Acropolis. To me, it was amazing but it was also very hot. We forgot our water but the ticket woman told us that we could buy water once we entered. We never found anywhere to get drinks until after we had climbed to the top and back... more

The Acropolis is definitely a must-see...it is for sure the symbol of Athens. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Greece! The walk up to see the Parthenon is a hike. I would recommend wearing comfortable shoes with non-slip soles as some of the walk is over marble that is very slippery! Beautiful views from the top... more

You can't go to Athens, without visiting the Acropolis. Start from the street level, by look at the imposing structure of the Acropolis. Then its a steep hill, to reach the entrance, but at the end is well rewording. You have the remains of 2 temples and a small museum, apart from a great view of the city of Athens.... more

The sights at the Acropolis are amazing. But I would highly recommend seeing it with a GUIDE. It is well worth the money. After you purchase your ticket, as you walk to the entrance, there are govt licensed guides waiting to approach you. First, they will ask if you are interested in a private tour for 85 Euros a person.... more

Amazing views from the top. Went there on a stop on our cruise and we simply enjoyed it. The climb is a bit much but it's worth it when you get to the top. The downside is that since they are reconstructing the monuments, there were alot of scaffoldings everywhere and it robs the the whole essence and feeling of... more

The only reason I didn't give this a perfect rating is because of the scaffolding which unfortunately takes away from the magical feeling of seeing these ancient buildings standing. Of course this is important restoration for future generations to be able to see what we see today. And up high over Athens, with the burning sun beating down, the view... more

The small museum at the top of the Acropolis is also a must see. It's a small, but fascinating collection of sculpture including the original Erechtheon Caryatids (the pillars in the shape of ladies) more

I was a little surprised at a recent review that said this was a waste of time. If the Acropoolis is a waste, I'd love to hear what is a must see. The Acropolis is one of the most amazing places I have ever seen, and I travel quite a bit. It is crowded, but this is for a good... more
