A fantastic place—definitely worth a visit! It’s definitely hot and there’s not much shade, but luckily it was early in the morning, so there weren’t many people and there was no line at the entrance. The museum is also worth a visit.

It wasn't obvious that this wasn't a counterfeit ticket but the admission ticket to the Acropolis. The museum ticket was easy to spot. Both are definitely worth it. Go early in the morning because it gets very, very hot at the site in the summer, and there's no shade.

The option to skip the line and get admission very quickly (from one day to the next) is very useful. It wasn’t possible to purchase tickets online through the Archaeological Museum’s official website. I think the additional fee charged is reasonable.
