Overview

Escape the midday rush and experience the true majesty of Athens on our Early Entry: Acropolis & Museum tour. Step back in time as you explore the iconic Acropolis before the crowds arrive. Marvel at the Parthenon under the soft morning light and immerse yourself in the rich history of ancient Greece. Then, delve into the treasures of the Acropolis Museum, where artifacts bring the stories of this incredible civilization to life. Beat the crowds, beat the heat, and discover the wonders of Athens at their most serene.

Please note, even in the morning, it can still be hot and crowded and that even with our skip-the-ticket-line service, there might be some waiting time required for security checks. This is because visitor numbers can fluctuate unpredictably at the sites throughout the day. The typical waiting time falls within 0 to 10 or 30 minutes, though on rare occasions, it might be longer.
