The guided tour was simple and intuitive, thanks in part to the module being activated based on our GPS location. We didn't have to wait in line, except for a quick check at the entrance. The location is simply incredible. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Its indeedly once in a lifetime experience to see such a marvel and it would have been 5 ⭐️. But. Audio guide could not be downloaded from website prior and on the acropolis site there was no wifi. There is also no reason to get a skip the line ticket as there is no line at all. I just had to do 5 mins waiting at my time because it was packed by the 'skip the line' group. So at the end the 14 euro premium on top of the 30 euro walk in ticket was not worth it. Note: the whole itinerary takes 40-50 mins at most and not 2 hrs as advertised.

Booking and getting into the Acropolis were very easy. The audio guide wasn't necessary. There's a free audio guide available at the entrance that you can install very quickly. Unfortunately, I had to pay for the audio guide for the kids here. Kids get in for free, after all. The audio guide at the Acropolis is also free. With HeadOut, I paid twice for the kids. And they didn’t even use it...

Unlock ancient Athens with access to the Acropolis, Parthenon, and more—then chase the sunset at Cape Sounion for one perfectly themed Greek adventure.

Roam the Acropolis, stand before the Parthenon, sit where ancient dramas played in the Theatre of Dionysus, and learn its history via your audio guide.

We bought tickets on Headout to visit the Acropolis in Athens, and I can assure you that this is the best website to buy them from. We had the chance to see all the monuments in the Acropolis area and even got access to an audio guide! Headout emailed me the tickets as soon as I bought them, which was a huge relief and made me realize I could trust them. Thank you for an unforgettable experience at a truly affordable price.

Just the vast enormity of the Acropolis. What an amazing place and definitely a wonder to behold . It is so worth a visit. If you have disabilities there is a lift but it is a little bit of a walk from main entrance. It is a great walk up to the top

There is no need to exchange the digital tickets you receive; they grant direct access to the visitor area. The two audio tours in Italian are generated using AI or machine translation, so they contain some translation errors.

Explore the Acropolis during the day, then head to Cape Sounion in the evening for a scenic coastal drive and sunset visit to the Temple of Poseidon.

Getting started

Begin at the Acropolis at your selected entry time. Present your ticket at the entrance and proceed through the site's security checks before exploring the archaeological complex. Later, make your way to the designated departure point in Athens for your Cape Sounion sunset tour.
