This ticket is the best way to explore Athens. It made the city so convenient. It gave free access to the public transport wich we used quite a lot to get in the center. Also it gives you fast track to the Akropolis wich you definitely need!! Because without you will not be getting in without about 3 hours of waiting. This is maybe the best thing about the passes. Also a nice extra are the bus tours you can take. It’s really cool to explore the city by bus. I can definitely recommend everyone to buy this ticket!!
We had a great experience using the turpo pass. On and off bus was great and allowed us to get a good idea of all the main sites. Recommend.
The pass contained all we needed for our sightseeing in Athens but we stayed in the Plaka district where most everything is within walking distance except the National Archeological museum so we didn't use public transport except for metro ride from airport to hotel. Cabs were so inexpensive - 3.50 Euros to Lycabettus Hill from Plaka & 5 Euros to National Archeological Museum (each way). I had considered trying to buy the multi museum pass but could not find the option online so it was good to have all of our tickets in hand before our trip and know that we could skip the lines, which came in handy at the New Acropolis Museum. Be sure to have the attendants validate your metro pass at the airport booth right before the turnstiles where you enter the platform. The metro signage for which line you're on isn't great but hop on a train and you can see which line you're on by looking at the sign inside...it will have red dashes on the route to show you which line you're on. We did take the Hop on, Hop off bus to the Acropolis our first day & wandered up the Hill of Muses which is an amazing place to catch the sunset for free.
I highly recommend the Turbo Pass! I ordered them prior to our trip and it was great to start using them at our leisure! So many wonderful things to see and do, great shopping and restaurants, too. I can't say enough great things about our trip! Athens is the most beautiful city and the people where wonderful. They make you feel like family! And the food! Absolutely loved everything about this wonderful City! Can't wait to go back one day.
Dank des Passes war alles sehr einfach. Besonders der Eintritt ins Akropolis Museum.
Ich war mit Service und den Möglichkeiten des Passes sehr zufrieden. Der Eintritt ins Akropolis Museum war dadurch erheblich erleichtert.
Alles lief voellig problemlos, lediglich ein bunter Automat war am Zugbahnhof am Flughafen nicht vorhanden, war aber auch fuer eine erstmalige Aktivierung gar nicht nötig. System der Benutzung der öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel läuft nach Standardschema check-in und check-out.
Shopping was easy and in Athens the use of the Turbopass was relatively profitable and easy to use, you can save time without making so many queues in the places visited, if you go with family or friends it is highly recommended to save valuable time !!!
To be honest I have got much more than it was in City Pass list. Buses, Train were accessible not only 2 days as described. Some places let me in even they are not in the list. I was quite surprised but City Pass worked like a magic stick. I think this is because unlimited hospitality of Greeks.
There were no problems with bus and train, as well as with the admissions of the museums. More was not possible in the short time.
The entire documents are quickly in the mailbox and it saves some time in Athens.
New York Sandwiches is a great place for burgers and fries with friendly staff. Also recommend Telaro for coffee and cake as well as Αθήναι Bistrot for Greek food.
The Turbopass has provided good information on the main attractions and sightseeing opportunities.
The information brochure has inspired great options such as city tour, bus tour, mini train, museums, Akrópolis sightseeing.
Top!
My wife and I bought the complete Athens City Pass so that we could see all the major sites without having to stand in line to buy tickets multiple times. The packet arrived in plenty of time to our home address before our departure. We had no problems with any of the sites accepting our tickets and passes. It was especially convenient walking past hundreds of people in lines and going straight to the main entrances of the Acropolis, Stoa of Attalus, Temple of Hephaestos and everything else covered by the pass. Also, we found the on and off tour bus option to be great for our three days in the city, as our scheduled varied each day. Lastly, we cannot say enough about how helpful it was to have the public transport tickets for three days to anywhere the metro and train services went in the area!
It's worthy to buy this card. Easy, useful and can keep it as a token after used.
Good thing. Everything worked fine.
