Advance tickets for Athens sites through the official website

Posted by (Central South Carolina) on

So the official site is hhticket.gr
We plan to visit the archeology museum on 10/17 and the Acropylis and Agora on 11/1.
Since these are tentative dates, I would like to wait till a week or so out to book.
Is that too close in?

Are these visits best in a tour or maybe audio sets are available?

Is it advisable to go as early in the day to acropylis? Weather should be cooler.

Can you do the acropylis and the agora on same day? It looks like the entrances are quite a distance from each other other (Acropylis on the south side and agora on the north, west of plaka)
Thanks

It looks like the entrances are quite a distance from each other
(Acropylis on the south side and Agora on the north, west of Plaka).

I assume you're referring to the side entrance to the Acropolis, located near the Acropolis Museum.
If you go through the main entrance (to the west), it's only about a 15-20 minute walk to the Ancient Agora.

As ORDTraveler mentioned, there are currently renovations underway at the Ancient Agora and the Kerameikos site that involve changes to the entrance locations.

From what I've read, there are two possible entrances to the Ancient Agora, depending on the progress of the work. I can't say which one will be in operation on the day you're there.

Here are two possible walking routes if you exit the Acropolis via the main exit:

In both options, the distance is only about 1 km.
