Parthenon Tickets

The incredible Parthenon is a Temple built by Athenians and dedicated to the goddess Athena Partheno. Your Parthenon tickets take you on a tour of this magnificent marble structure that has become one of the most iconic attractions of Greece. As an initiative taken by Pericles, the Parthenon was built in 447 to 438 BCE. A colossal statue of Athena was sculpted by one of the most celebrated sculptors then, Pheidias. Although the statue is no longer there, according to records it was made of gold and Ivory. The structure of the Parthenon itself features several marble sculptures depicting scenes from Athenian Mythology. These sculpted decorations include 92 metopes depicting scenes of mythical battles, the southern flank of the temple features human Lapiths battling with centaurs. The eastern flank of the Parthenon features the birth of the goddess Athena from the head of her father Zeus. Although quite a large portion of the sculpted decorations no longer exists it still is one of the most fascinating works of art. Despite the ravages of time and multiple plunderings by invaders, the Parthenon still stands as a testimony to the glorious city of Athens and the Hellenistic architecture which can be explored with your Parthenon tickets.

• Wear comfortable shoes, clothes, sunglasses and a hat if you are visiting during the summers.
• It is best to arrive early as the Parthenon gets crowded quickly making it almost impossible for you to really be able to appreciate its architecture and design and the role it plays in world's history.
• Bring a water bottle as the weather of Greece is really hot during summers and you are bound to sweat profusely during the exploration.
• There is a water fountain at the top to refill your water bottles.
• Click as many photographs as you want but bear in mind drones and other bulky and dangerous photography equipment are not allowed in the Temple.
• Touching the stones and statues are not permitted so they can be protected from further wear and tear.
• There are no time limitations for you to explore the area so take your time and don't miss out on anything.
• Wear sunscreen during summers as Greece has very dry and sunny summers.
