There is an elevator available for wheelchairs, people with diminished abilities, and any parent attending two or more infants on her/his own. The elevator is located at about 350 m. far from the main entrance of the archaeological site.
The facility is not available during extreme weather conditions and strong winds.
We, at the Athens Walking Tours, do take care and purchase the tickets in advance for all our guests so, no lining up at all!
There are two entrances to the Acropolis: the west entrance is the main one, and the side entrance (known as Dionysus Theater entrance), which is located in the southeast.
If you use the main one, you should know that it is usually very crowded. You should be prepared to wait long in the line to enter the site.
We, at the Athens Walking Tours, use only the Dionysus Theater entrance for all the advantages it offers us:
Our tour guide was excellent - knowledgeable, funny and patient. When you see the Acropolis from the ground you think you can’t climb that much, but our guide paced our group perfectly

We went on this tour today and had the BEST time. Our guide Giota was incredible, so knowledgable and passionate and honestly made the tour for us. She answered all of our questions, went at a comfortable pace in the heat and made a 6 hour walk feel like nothing. Thank you so much Giota! Highly recommend this tour if you don’t have long in Athens - you will see and learn so much in such a short space of time!

Theodora was an outstanding guide - her knowledge of archeology, history and modern day Athens is truly remarkable. It made our trip to the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum so much more valuable and worthwhile than had we have done it alone. We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour with her!

Kate | Oct 23 | Early Morning Acropolis & Parthenon
Loved this tour! Not only did you not have to stand in the long lines for tickets and ques, you got an amazing guide through the Acropolis. She was amazing. She had a notebook, showing you how the ruins look in the past, which really brought it to life. Highly recommend as we were able to guarantee our tour time before our cruise that afternoon. Definitely recommend a morning tour as it does get very busy and hot.
