Planning your visit
Tickets cost €12 (€6 concessions) This includes entrance to the archaeological site and the museum. It’s a good idea to start at the tholos of Athena Pronaia and the Gymnasium first, and then go up to the main archaeological site where the temple of Apollo, the ancient theatre, the stadium, the remains of various city-states and the museum are located. Sensible footwear is a must as the pathways are uneven and the site is spread out on a steep hillside.
