Heads Up
  • Book Acropolis entry slots in advance to avoid long queues and heat.
  • Wear sturdy walking shoes as ancient sites have uneven, slippery marble surfaces.
  • Carry plenty of water and sun protection, especially when visiting exposed ruins in summer.
  • Check seasonal opening hours for archaeological sites as they vary between winter and summer.
