Acropolis visitor numbers reached a record 4,609,113 in 2025, an average of about 12,600 people a day, according to data from the Hellenic Statistical Authority.
The total rose from about 4.55 million in 2024, according to the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) data.
Traffic now stays above 4.5 million a year. To protect the monument, authorities set a strict limit of 20,000 visitors a day.
Acropolis visitor numbers consistently make up 35 per cent of all visits to Greece’s archaeological sites.
Before the pandemic, in 2019, the site drew about 3.5 million people.
As a result, the 2025 total was 32 per cent higher, with 1,109,113 more visitors than six years earlier.
Tickets and time slots for the site are sold through the Culture Ministry’s official Hellenic Heritage ticketing site.
