Best Historical landmark in Greece

B	Brisippus on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Entrance is €6, but is also included in the €30 multi-pass which I definitely recommend if you are planning to see more than two sites. There are some pretty cool floor mosaic remnants to be seen here along with some columns and arches, but the majority is left up to your imagination.
C	CsabaJ on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Entrance costs 6EUR, its kept clean and has descriptive boards for some ruins. You can also buy a 5 day pass valid for multiple archeological sites for 30EUR (each site has different entry prices, most expensive is the Acropolis). Opening hours are 8am-8pm, but on extreme hot day (reaching 40C), they close between 1-5pm. At the ticket office you can find drinkable water and toilets.
T	Tugce C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Another must see place. You can see everything from outside. You do not need to buy ticket. If you have combine ticket, it is better to see inside of course.
C	Carole Ash on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you have the combi ticket, and you're passing, it's worth a quick visit but, like most of the sites, you can see nearly all of it from outside. It's not really worth making a special trip for and it won't take you long to wander around it.
A	Amanda Cooke on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Another lovely set of ruins to meander through, very close to the Roman Forum. The site of an old but impressively large church as well as the ruins of the library. Would recommend as part of any trip to the Agora and Forum.
h	herm dig on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had the combination ticket that gives access to 7 archaeological sites including this one but to be honest there is not much left to see and what there is is readily viewed from the road. By going in you get to read the interpretation panels but there are not many of those. Still your euros help to preserve sites like this so well worth the entry.
G	Georges Younes on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Like many other visitors to Athens, I bought the combined ticket. It allows you to visit several archeological sites in the historical area that's in the center of the city, including the Acropolis. To avoid queues in front of the ticket office of the Acropolis, buy your ticket at one of the smaller attractions, like Hadrian's Library. It took me seconds. I then entered and visited the site. Take your time, even if it doesn't look like much once you pass the main colonnade. Go early in the morning because there's hardly any shade anywhere.
C	Chad Schallick on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Make sure to check out Hadrian’s Library in the evening hours! The lights make the ancient ruins look amazing at night. During the day walk the grounds and take in all the beauty of the ruins. Grab a ticket online for no wait times! I was here in December 2021 and had the whole place to myself.
