Best time of day

If you're visiting Greece in the summer, I strongly recommend you arrive at the Acropolis when the gates open (8 a.m.) or in the late afternoon.

More comfortable temperatures
The midday Athenian summer sun can be blistering hot.

Fewer tourists
The Acropolis won't be crawling with two-legged ants (tourists).

Better photos
There will be fewer tourists spoiling your shots. And the low-lying solar rays will give your photographs vivid hues.
