Skip-the-Line Access: The Acropolis

This service is provided at no extra cost.  Note that children under 18 years old have free admission to the Acropolis and all the archaeological sights. 

Entering on the south slope of the Acropolis, you’ll visit the Dionysus Sanctuary and Dionysus Theater before you walk up the slope leading to the Acropolis monuments. Panoramic views of the city will be perfect for Instagram-ready photos. 

During your tour, you’ll gain insight into the significance of its historic monuments including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, the Nike Temple.

The tour ends on the Acropolis approximately at 13:00 (1:00 pm).

Meeting point

Your Athens Walking Tours guide will be waiting for you holding the orange colored Athens Walking Tours sign. The meeting point is at 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 11:15 am. This tour is a continuation of the Athens City Tour and the Acropolis tour which starts earlier. Our guide with his/her group will arrive at the meeting point between 11:15 am and 11:30 am the latest. Look out for our guides holding an orange colored Athens Walking Tours sign.

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 yogurt sample!

*On Good Friday (Greek Orthodox Easter), the tour starts at 12:15 pm.
