    Hi, I have heard that there is a problem with the lift there, do you know anything about it? Visiting in a week from now.

    Hello!

    There was a fuss on the media here, one week ago, about the lift, as it was out of order for quite a long time! Therefore, it was said that they made it work for now, and that they will repair it for good in the near future. However, I cannot find any information about its condition today for example. You will have to rely on luck for this 😛

    Hello,

    An update: On the 3rd of December, a new elevator began to operate in the Acropolis hill, and new walkways were created for disabled visitors.

    As I have not visited recently the place though, I cannot give you any comments on those renovations.

    In this video you can take a glimpse of the elevator and the walkways:

    Interesting to see that according to this article the elevator is getting 300 users per month!
