One of the land's historically significant sites, can be walked around briskly, but most of the ruins can be viewed from behind the fence too.

A cool ancient marketplace with some ruins of fountains, columns, and a building with some groundbreaking technology of the time. Buy the 5 day 30 euro pass which will get you into a lot of the ruins around

Went with an acropolis and other sites ticket. It’s pretty low key but some interesting ruins at the back. I wouldn’t pay separately for it as you can see it all from outside.

Amazing place to visit! Really gives you some insight into the daily lives of the ancient Greeks. There really isn’t a lot of shade so i recommend you pick your time to visit wisely. I visited during the afternoon and it was super warm! There were only a few visitors there besides my group, so it was relatively calm. Make sure you read all the information on the signs as this will make you understand this place much better.

It’s and open ground site so barely shaded. Hard to visit during peak sun time. Not impressive while compared to other structures around. The site lacks informational boards except for one structure. You need to read about the Roman Forum ahead of time to appreciate its history. It’s a good to see site, but if time is limited in Athens then you could skip it.

A lovely piece of Greek history. There was no queue to enter and it was not too busy inside. We used a city pass ticket to visit here. So did not need to pay on entry. The staff were friendly. However this venue we thought needed some more information boards. It lacked some historical explanations to the pieces of architecture, which was slightly disappointing.

This is an awesome place to visit, especially if you’ve already purchased the combination ticket!! You can walk right up to the ruins and really get a feel for how everything once looked. It’s in a great location, seeing as it is not too far from other major sites in Athens. I would definitely recommend coming at an earlier time of day, seeing as there’s not much shade and it can get very hot!
