What happened to the combined ticket
The old pass covered the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, the Roman Agora, Hadrian’s Library, Kerameikos, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Aristotle’s Lyceum. With the Ministry of Culture’s new prices, in force since 1 April 2025, the pass no longer exists on hhticket.gr. No official replacement has appeared. The «combo passes» you see on travel sites are resales of the same tickets, usually with an audio guide or a tour on top.

The Tower of the Winds can be seen from the street, but from inside you understand the market.
The façade is on Areos Street, next to Monastiraki metro station.
Fifteen columns standing, one fallen. Hadrian’s Arch next to it is free.
The ancient cemetery, quiet and green. It reopened in 2026 with a new entrance.
Aristotle taught here. The site is small and needs some imagination.

Which sites are worth paying for
Without a pass, the question changes. It is no longer «is it worth it?», but «which ones will I see from inside and which from outside?».
- Acropolis (€30): no question. Book an early morning slot.
- Ancient Agora (€20): the best buy after the Acropolis. The Temple of Hephaestus and the museum in the Stoa of Attalos alone are worth the ticket.
- Roman Agora and Hadrian’s Library (€10 each): both are next to Monastiraki and you can see quite a lot through the railings. Go into one if the history of Roman Athens interests you.
- Olympieion (€20): the columns are very visible from Vasilissis Olgas Avenue and from Hadrian’s Arch, which stands on the pavement and needs no ticket. Inside is mainly worth it for close-up photos.
- Kerameikos (€10): the quietest site in the centre, with its museum and the Sacred Way. Ideal if you have already seen the «big ones».
- Aristotle’s Lyceum (€5): foundations in a park, for those who want to stand where Aristotle taught.
💡 Three ways to pay less
Free days: 6 March, 18 April, 18 May, the last weekend of September, 28 October, and from November to March the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month. All the dates are in our calendar of free museum days. Age: EU citizens under 25 pay nothing. Order: see from outside whatever is visible from the street and keep your money for the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora.
The ticket that’s not up for debate.
The temple and the Stoa museum, on one ticket.
On the pavement. From here you can also see the columns of the Olympieion.

One day, four sites, no rushing
The four sites around Monastiraki fit into one morning walk. The Acropolis at 8:00 from the main entrance, down past the Areopagus into the Ancient Agora, then lunch on Adrianou Street. In the afternoon, the Roman Agora and Hadrian’s Library, two minutes apart. At 2026 prices this day costs €70 per person. If you leave the Roman Agora and the Library to the railings, it drops to €50.

Frequently asked questions
Will the combined ticket come back?
There has been no announcement. If it returns, you will see it on hhticket.gr.
Is a «combo pass» from a travel site worth it?
Only if you want the tour or audio guide it includes. The tickets inside the package are the same as at the ticket office, and you book your Acropolis slot either way.
Was the Acropolis Museum ever part of the pass?
No. The museum has always had its own ticket, €20.
Which site is most worth it after the Acropolis?
The Ancient Agora. It is two stops from Victoria, has the best-preserved ancient temple in Athens and a small, very human museum.
