DO NOT MISS THE SOUTHERN SLOPES! we nearly did! You get it with the same ticket for the acropolis and Parthenon and the top of the hill. Enter through the 'acropolis southern slope' and then you can see so much history here and go up to the top of hill after without having to leave the complex. We didn't find this on day one and had to pay to go back in another time.
It's quite hard to get here from the standard entrance for the acropolis, the best way to describe it is when you are above the first theatre (the one that is still in use) carry on forwards at the kiosk, don't go left which would make you continue up the hill and miss the south. The south has the best info boards I've seen in all Greece, each one with annotations and pictures showing you the ruins and how they looked in different times and it was so easy to picture it.
Do not miss the southern slopes, amazing - and it comes with the acropolis ticket!
