Visiting in the early morning around 8 AM is the best; you beat the crowds and the heat. Plus, the sunrise views over Athens are breathtaking!

Take a moment to really soak in the view from the top. I rushed through it initially, and now I wish I had spent more time enjoying the scenery and taking photos.

If you want to save some cash, think about getting the Athens tourist pass. It gives you access to multiple sites and can really cut down on ticket prices!

I recommend visiting early like around 8 AM. The heat is much more bearable and you get some amazing photos with fewer crowds.

You might wanna buy your tickets ahead of time online. I waited in line for quite a while, and it was annoying!

For a great view, head to the cliffs on the left of the Acropolis! I was surprised by the stunning scenery, so don’t skip it!

I suggest checking the weather before you go. It gets super hot, so plan your visit for a milder day if possible!

Make sure to bring water and snacks. There are limited options nearby, plus you'll want to stay refreshed while exploring the site! I learned this the hard way after a few hours without a break.
