Acropolis Tickets
Does anyone know if we need to/can purchase our tickets for the Acropolis and its surrounding sites prior to arrival? On our Europe trip last year, we pre-purchased a lot of the site seeing tickets to bypass the huge lineups.
I heard there is a combined ticket allowing entrance for the following sites for about 12 Euros:
- Acropolis & Acropolis Museum
- Ancient Agora & Agora Museum
- Kerameikos & Kerameikos Museum
- Temple of Olymian Zeus
- Roman Agora & Tower of the Winds
Thanks in advance

Yes, there is a ticket at the price of 12 Euro, that allows access to the following :
Acropolis of Athens,Ancient Agora and Museum, Areios Pagos, Keramikos and Keramikos Museum, Hadrian Library, Roman Agora and
Olympieion ( Temple of Olympian Zeus), North and South slope of the Acropolis.
The ticket cannot be purchased on line, only on the spot.
The entrance to the New Acropolis Museum is not included in that ticket, and must be purchased separately.
Entrance costs 5 Euro, and this ticket can be purchased online at: www.theacropolismuseum.gr

The ticket you mention is the regular entrance ticket to the Acropolis. It covers the other locations, so don't throw it away. It is also good for several days. If you want to visit some of the other locations but not the Acropolis, you buy individual tickets. As far as I know, you can only buy tickets on site. You can buy Acropolis Museum tickets online though.

Worth noting that if you visit one of the sites other than the Acropolis first you have a choice to buy the individual ticket for that site, or the combined one as Clausar detailed above. Always opt for the combined ticket if you are going to visit the Acropolis later(a given for most people!)because as stated you have to buy that one there anyway if you haven't already got it.

How many days is the multi-ticket good for?
Is there a distinction between The Acropolis of Athens and the North/South slopes of the Acropolis as articulated by Clauser?
Assuming the line at the Acropolis is the longest or one of the longer ones, is there one site amongst those mentioned that it is easier to purchase the ticket?
What is the impact of a potential strike at one or all the sites, if that is even possible, do the days of the ticket extend past a strike or are they consumed by it?
Much obliged...bdj

In Athens as almost anywhere in Europe simply get there at opening time and you'll not only have little if any wait but you'll get to see the place without the mobs before the tour buses start arriving...
