Reserve my entryThis is full admission to the archaeological site of the Temple of Olympian Zeus — the colossal temple to Zeus in the heart of Athens, its fifteen surviving Corinthian columns and the great fallen column, with Hadrian's Arch beside the grounds. We reserve your entry for the single date and hourly slot you choose and send it to your phone, so you walk straight past the ticket-office queue to the gate.
What's included
Every booking includes the elements below — handled by our concierge team before your visit and confirmed at the gate.
• Temple of Olympian Zeus entry — the full archaeological site: the colossal temple platform, the fifteen surviving Corinthian columns and the fallen column, with Hadrian's Arch beside the grounds • Timed-entry ticket — reserved for the date and hourly slot you choose • 5-minute audio history sent before your visit • Booking handled in your own language
Who this is for
This is standard full admission, ideal for independent travellers who want to skip the on-the-day queue and have everything handled. The standard ticket needs no passport or name. The operator sets its own reduced and free categories (for example for children and certain EU visitors), which may require ID at the gate — contact our team if you think one applies to you. Note the Acropolis nearby is a separate archaeological site with its own ticket, not covered by this ticket.
On the day
The Temple of Olympian Zeus is in central Athens, a short walk southeast of the Acropolis, easily reached by metro to Akropoli or Syntagma or on foot from the Plaka. Show your mobile ticket at the gate within your booked hour and walk among the giant columns and the fallen column, then step out to Hadrian's Arch beside the site, free to see. It's an open, largely shadeless site, so bring a hat, sunscreen, water and sturdy shoes, and allow about 30 to 45 minutes. The temple pairs naturally with the Acropolis and the Plaka nearby, though the Acropolis is a separate site.
