Single ticket to the fortified Acropolis hill archaeological site (Parthenon, Erechtheion, Propylaea and the surrounding slopes area). Does NOT include the Acropolis Museum, which is a separate institution with its own ticket.
Overview & Visitor Introduction
The Acropolis is the fortified hill at the centre of Athens that carries the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Propylaea gateway, and is administered directly by the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports through its Hellenic Heritage e-ticketing platform.
It is sold as a single, independent ticket. It does not include the Acropolis Museum, which sits at the foot of the hill but is a separate institution with its own admission and its own booking system.
