Guided tours and museum tickets in Greece

During your trip to Greece, you may want to purchase guided tours and museum tickets to ensure that you get the most out of your trip. These tours will offer you an insight into the history of the Acropolis and give you the opportunity to learn about the artifacts that are displayed at the museum. There are several different kinds of guided tours, including private tours, group tours, and a combination of the two. A self-guided tour is also an option, which allows you to visit the Acropolis and museum at your own pace.

You may also want to purchase guided tours and museum tickets that include a skip-the-line feature. This feature ensures that you will avoid the crowds and have priority access to the attraction. The main entrance to the Acropolis is often crowded, especially during peak seasons. This makes it necessary to arrive early to ensure that you are able to get through the lines.

Acropolis tours can be booked through various ticket providers, including GetYourGuide, Tiqets, and the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports. These tour companies will allow you to book tickets online, which are then delivered to you. However, these tickets are not refundable. For this reason, you should only purchase them during specific seasons. If you will be staying in Athens for a longer period of time, it is worth purchasing a multi-site ticket.

These tickets also give you the chance to visit other Greek sites, including the Roman Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Ancient Agora, and the Numismatic Museum at Schlieman's House. Several guided tours will also allow you to visit the Greek Parliament and the Temple of Zeus. These tours are often led by locals, who will point out the main features of the Acropolis complex.

A self-guided audio tour can be downloaded to your smartphone, which gives you an overview of the museum and explains the significance of the artifacts. The museum is also open for the entire day on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. It is a great attraction for families, as children under 25 can enter the museum for free. It is a beautiful museum, which is well laid out. You can also take a stroll through the museum's museum cafe.

Acropolis tours are also available on weekends and holidays, including Easter Saturday. If you are planning to visit Greece during these times, be sure to purchase tickets well in advance. During peak seasons, it can be difficult to get tickets, especially if you are traveling during the summer. There is also a museum ticket that allows children under the age of five to visit for free.
