5.00The walk up to the acropolis was actually quite easy because the weather was mild (60F), we stopped often to learn about the site, and it was not crowded. A member of our group has trouble with stairs abut was able to get up/down ok. Our guide was really wonderful.
Great way to tour this sight! Highly recommend!
