1. Important 2025/2026 Update: Individual Timed-Entry Tickets
In April 2025, the Hellenic Ministry of Culture overhauled archaeological site pricing across Greece and discontinued the old €30 5-day Athens Combined Ticket. Today, every major site is booked individually with a strict hourly timed-entry slot on the official state portal (hhticket.gr):

- Acropolis Museum: €20 (separate museum ticket booked at
theacropolismuseum.gr) - Ancient Agora of Athens / Temple of Hephaestus: €20
- Temple of Olympian Zeus / Roman Agora / Hadrian's Library: €10 – €15

- Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion & Sacred Island of Delos: €20 each
