Skip-the-Line-Access: The Acropolis

Meeting point

Your Athens Walking Tours guide will be waiting for you holding the orange colored Athens Walking Tours sign. The meeting point is the Fresko Yogurt Bar located on 3 Dionysiou Areopagitou Street which is at the beginning of the pedestrian walkway that takes you from Hadrian's Arch to the Acropolis.

Please be at the meeting point at 8:15 am

Tip: While you wait for your guide at the Fresko Yogurt Bar, it is a good opportunity to try a serving of fresh authentic Greek yogurt, best when topped with honey or a Greek spoon sweet. Be sure to ask for a free sample!
