Best time to visit Acropolis without crowds

Has anyone recently visited the Acropolis in Athens and can recommend the best time to go to avoid crowds? Should we buy tickets in advance, and how long does a visit typically take?

Buy in advance…there are time slots allocated…get one as early as possible in the morning…we had out time slot at 12 (not our choice :)) and it was hell hahah

I agree, as early as possible! I went in the afternoon and it was pretty crowded. And it takes maximum 2 hours I would say to do just the Acropolis:)

Do you remember which website you used to book your tickets? And did you still have to wait in line?

I was with TR tour and they bought the tickets and we did not wait at all cause we were in a group

I don’t remember the website sadly, a friend booked it for us, but no, we didn’t have to wait either

You can use this website to get the tickets: Book Acropolis Tickets | Priority Entry & Guided Tours and I agree with the ladies….go as early as possible!

One more question: does someone know if it’s actually for free for students or for <25 years?

i think that is free only for kids up to 5

Hmmm for Greeks it’s free, so I am not sure to be honest! But this is what I found online, so I assume if you are under 25 and from a EU country, then it’s free

we had tickets for our kids

Another thing I found online!

Thanks both
