The Acropolis, the “sacred rock” of Athens, is recognizable from the air, various viewpoints in the city, or from the history books of your childhood. It’s a worldwide symbol of the Golden Age of ancient Greek civilization. Here, you’ll find major portions of Doric temples and other architectural masterpieces, as well as the remnants of sculptures and carvings from the 5th century B.C. The first thing you’ll see is the Propylaea, the monumental gray and white entrance building to the Acropolis. Guards were stationed here to protect this sacred area dedicated to Athena, the patron deity of ancient Athens. Slaves, runaways an other undesirables were turned away here, so that they couldn’t seek protection by the gods in the inner sanctuary.  Anyone who appreciates history, art, and story-telling will have no trouble spending an entire day at the Acropolis. Make sure to bring plenty of water and wear comfortable shoes, as you’ll be likely be hiking uphill and in the hot sun for parts of the day. Some of the "don’t-miss" highlights include the Temple of Athena Nike, the Parthenon, and the new Acropolis Museum. When you’re ready for lunch, head along the tree-lined paths and relax on  the benches in the park surrounding the main archeological site. Refreshments are available there, but it’s more cost-effective to bring snacks and water from a nearby store. Guides can always be found for a price near the ticket kiosk. You can also buy a guidebook and take a self-tour. The Acropolis rises from the city center and is accessible by public transportation. The admission fee covers all structures on the archeological site and it’s open daily. Get there early to avoid the year-round crowds and the heat of summer.  ## Plan a trip to see Acropolis Price found within the past 48 hours.

Excellent 184 4 - Good 49 3 - Okay 3 2 - Disappointing 0 1 - Terrible 0 ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller All steps of differing sizes, and no hand rails, be prepared with sturdy foot wear. Well worth the effort, best to go as early as possible, it is very crowded by 10am. Only one washroom, part way up the hill, just before the ticket taking kiosk, last chance, suggest you take it. ENJOY ### 5/5 - Excellent Jenn Wear comfortable shoes and go at the end of the day to see the sunset. There will also be less people then. Be prepared for a lot of people otherwise (some of whom, don't listen so you will need patience). ### 5/5 - Excellent Kevin/Lisa Booked 1-1-2 hour walking tour ... perfect length of time ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveller Washrooms available before entrance and at the top only. Bring water - it gets hot! Consider downloading the Rock Stevens podcast walking tour of Acropolis if doing without a guide ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller marvelous to see but be sure to wear the right footwear - on a hot day, wear a hat and have water with you. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller We went in the winter January 2019. No crowds. half price admission and able to take lots of pictures without people in the way. The history of Athens is incredible. ### Popular places to visit ![Parthenon](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/1/2ed876f836767f1b9eecf01713806b6e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Parthenon 5/5(447 reviews) Step back in time and explore the ancient myths etched into the walls of the largest Doric temple in Greece, originally dedicated to the warrior goddess Athena.
