Acropolis Reduced Tickets

[Laukland]

I keep seeing a reduced ticket for the Acroplis for Euro 6.00 and the full is Euro 12.00. What is the difference between the two? If Fafos or anyone knows please point it out. Thanks in advance.

Your post has prompted me to ask our many knowledgeable friends if there are discounts for seniors/pensioners etc for rail fares, entry to museums or ruin sites etc. I recall there were when we were in Rome some years ago for entry into the Forum, galleries and the likes. If so would a copy of passport, drivers licence or Australian seniors card be sufficient as I do not want to carry my passport in every port. I seem to recall we had to show our passport in Rome for proof of age that we were over 60, now I guess one look at us would be enough proof;);).

 

Many thanks again to all you wonderful people, Misty

I believe that these only are available to visitors from fellow EU countries now. (That certainly is the case in Greece.)

When we were there in June, our friends 18 year old daughter got reduced price because she was a student, and we are not from the EU. And she got in free in the Museum.

I was addressing Misty's question regarding prices for seniors, not students or young people, which Fafos' post, which quotes the official Greek government website, clearly states are not dependent on EU status.:)

Thanks CintiPam

 

Worth asking and thanks for the reply. I remember when we went to the Prado in Madrid it was only for EU members so it must be the same throughout Europe. When we were in Rome it was pre EU so that would explain it.

 

Cheers, Misty

You're very welcome. Now that I am approaching senior status, I find that I am paying more attention to these matters!

 

I am told that when I hit 60, the State of Ohio automatically will send me my "Golden Buckeye" card. Only two years more to wait!:D

Does anyone know whether there is a reduced rate for teachers?

Thanks!
