Skipped the huge ticket line at the Acropolis and just scanned my phone – amazing!The ticket gets you into all the major ancient sites: the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, Roman Forum, and others. We spent day 1 at the Acropolis (go early!), and then used the other days to explore the other ruins at our own pace whenever we walked by. It saved us money and the hassle of buying individual tickets each time.The Acropolis itself is breathtaking, but can be crowded and hot – wear good shoes! Having 5 days meant we didn't have to rush. Highly recommend this ticket.”
Opening hours: 09:00-22:00 (admission ends at 21:30)
SHARMIN K:“This is a 6 in Greece, Athens.If you have the time I suggest and highly recommend for you to visit this place. This museum is worth visiting and spending money on. Tip: Book early in the day as queues can be long in summer months! Expect to spend at least 1/2 a day in the museum.”

环球史蒂夫:“Theater of Herodes Atticus and Caryatids and Parthenon
However, the Caryatids in the Acropolis are not authentic. The authentic ones are in the nearby Acropolis Museum and... the British Museum
Like most Greek temples, this temple was also used as a treasury.
1. It was built in 447 BC to replace the old Parthenon (destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC).
2. For a while, it was the treasury of the Delian League (which later evolved into the Athenian Empire).
3. In the 6th century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary (the original Athena was also a virgin).
4. In the early 1460s, after being conquered by the Ottoman Turks, it was used as a mosque.
5. It was used as a gunpowder magazine by the Turkish army in 1687 and was unfortunately severely damaged in an explosion.
6. By 1800, only half of the Parthenon statues survived. After obtaining approval from the Ottoman government, British Ambassador Sir Elgin began to transport half of the surviving statues back to Britain at his own expense starting in 1801, and they began to be exhibited in the British Museum in 1817.”
