Skip-the-Ticket Line Access
Please be aware that even with our skip-the-ticket-line service, there might be some waiting time required for security checks. This is because visitor numbers can fluctuate unpredictably at the sites throughout the day. The typical waiting time falls within 0 to 10 or 30 minutes, though on rare occasions, it might be longer.
However, here's where our service truly shines: Even amidst a queue, our experienced guides will always stay by your side. They will use this time as an opportunity to kickstart your tour, offering in-depth explanations about the history and significance of the site you're about to explore. This way, not a moment is wasted, and you're assured of the full, rich experience we promise.
We will be waiting for you at Fresko Yogurt Bar Acropoli (3, Dionyssiou Areopagitou Street). Look for the orange sign displaying "Athens Walking Tours." Fresko is located at the start of the pedestrian walkway that leads to the Acropolis from Hadrian's Arch, Siggrou Avenue (also written as Syngrou).
Please arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes prior to the tour departure time.
Our tip: While you're at Fresko Yogurt Bar Acropoli, it's the perfect opportunity to try fresh and authentic Greek yogurt. It's best when topped with honey or a spoonful of Greek sweets.
A new time zone system for entry to the Acropolis has been introduced. This innovative approach aims not only to minimize waiting times but also to prevent overcrowding, ensuring a more sustainable and enjoyable experience for all visitors.
