Even in early October it can be very warm in the afternoon (27 to 30 degrees) so I would say choose a morning visit starting around 8.30am Wear good footwear with good tread as the marble and stone steps and walkways can get a little slippery Be patient (not my strongpoint!!) but it's going to be busy and some people will need a little bit longer to navigate the steps .,. but you'll get up there and it's well worth those extra few minutes
Mona Sallam

A guided tour to Acopolis is a must. Better early morning or late afternoon during summer to avoid heat of midday sun. A good pair of walking shoes with non-slip soles. A bottle of cold water to keep well hydrated.

Book ahead of time online so you have options as what time of day to go. We happen to have a driving tour planned with" Welcome Pick ups" 2 hours prior which worked out great because he was kind enough to drop us off at Acropolis area saving us us the walk up which was great.

Definitely book a guided tour, as well as the tour of the Acropolis Museum. Georgina was the most perfect guide, so kind and funny and intelligent, and we spent a few magical hours under her tutelage through the Parthenon/Acropolis and the Museum. We toured the Acropolis from 4:30pm-630pm/7pm or so, and then went to the museum afterwards - the museum was nearly empty, which was surreal and so moving. Wear sneakers and bring water!

The best tip I could recommend would be to give yourself PLENTY of time beforehand to find the meeting point, eat something for breakfast because you're going to be doing a lot of walking, and lastly stay hydrated!

Book early and check out routes, how you will get there, the meeting point is just off a main road where trams/buses run An easy walk from our hotel aided by Google maps. Sunscreen & hats as it is all in the open with very little shade. I was concerned that my partner may not be able to do the distance/terrain but it was a very mixed group and the guide didn't rush people along.

My best 2 tips for visiting the Acropolis would be: 1.I would highly recommend booking a guided tour, it is really a different experience to visit the archaeological site with someone who explains what you are looking at. 2. In the hot season, book an early visit because it can be very hot to climb the Acropolis under the sun.

When I got there at 8:15AM for the 8:30AM tour, I was told by the tour office that it was going to start at 9AM. I think a notification that the tour would start 30 minutes late would have helped. I was sitting waiting for 45 minutes as a result. I could have had breakfast at the hotel if I had known I would have to wait that long.

Can take x80 bus from cruise port to the Acropolis. But returning, line was incredibly long and bus could not take all people waiting and did not stop at next stop for those waiting there You can get back to the cruise port by the.metro/subway and then a short bus ride (947) I believe, to the actual cruise docks (port in Athens is HUGE!

Book a tour for the Acropolis! It's crazy crowded up there! Getting around Athens can also be nuts, so plan your driving or bus ride in advance to give yourself time to walk/park, etc. Bring an umbrella if it looks like rain. Have sturdy shoes - the stones are slippery - especially when wet!

Annastasia hit all of the highlights and important information.
