Absolutely true. In April, 2024 I went to the museum in the early afternoon. Long lines for those who did not have a ticket. Glad I went to the museum first before going to the Acropolis.
Went to the Acropolis last week Wednesday super early, bought the tickets online and arrived at the entrance around 7:45 and there was a long line already, waiting for the gates to be open, though I guess its not as crazy during the latter part of the day. At around 10:45 a.m. we went to the Acropolis Museum and it was already crowded (by us😅) and temp was @ 37 degrees.
I've seen there is a big push against tourism in Athens now, both from the government and the locals. This is concerning to me, because I have a trip planned there in a few months. Apparently there have even been some theeats against tourists. Do I need to be worried?
Their website states that reduced tickets for non EU students can only be purchased on-site. Do you happen to know if we can purchase at the end of the day for entrance the following morning and then enter on the skip the line entrance?
Either you buy him a normal full priced ticket, or you buy a 50% discounted ticket in person at the museum. But in that case you will have to enter through the door for those who dont have tickets yet.

We paid the extra and had an archaeologist explain and take us around...Very informative...
Thanks. This piece of info is a great help. I didn't know it until now.

Love your info Sebi
Thank you for sharing useful and imformative
Sebastian, just an FYI, we recently purchased advance tickets for the Acropolis Museum and it require us to choose a time.
Oh really ? Which website did you use ?
I want to visit less touristy islands of the Cyclades like Sifnos & Paros, is it cheaper? Are there things to be aware of?
How much time should we budget to see the museum before the acropolis so we know when is a good time to book the acropolis tickets?
1h30-2h
@@GreeceExplainedThank you! We are going in early November, and hope for far fewer crowds and nice temperatures!

Dont worry, the media like to over dramatize, nothing has changed in Greece, everyone is welcome :-)
Question, when are the combo tickets available online as I'm planning to visit Athens 2025 in May?
Usually on Apr 1st, which is the official start of the tourist season
How's the weather down there? Is it a bit cooler? The past few weeks they were bad news about Acropolis closinf down cause of heat?
These days we're around 35 degrees (July)
I went there three weeks ago , it’s 41degree, still open. It was very hot 🥵

Yes that would work. But you take the risk that the timeslot is sold out by then.
Your video quality is good but you need to add Thumbnails to the video and do SEO.
Hi, I want to book for my kid is 17 years old, we don't have the option ?

上个月去，看见右边那条长队伍，就是觉得很奇怪，为啥没票了还有人排队，我在边上站了站就离开了😂😅😂
