When we arrived there was a long line of people to buy tickets. The company that provided transportation for us to the site said that there was a senior citizen discount. When I finally got to the front of the line I said two adults and one senior citizen (76). She told me that only European citizens were eligible for the discount. I am not sure I understand that. Why are the elderly from other countries not treated the same. The site is nice. There is signage that tells you about some of the items. I saw no tour guides for hire.Irgendwie schon enttäuschend.

Irgendwie schon enttäuschend. So richtige alte Bauwerke gibt es dort nicht zu besichtigen. Es stehen noch ein paar wenige Säulen rum. Und es liegen zig alte Steine dort, die auf alte Bauwerke schließen lassen. Aber es sieht so aus, dass die Bauwerke nach den beiden Erdbeben eingestürzt sind und genauso hat man die Steine liegen gelassen. Ist nicht so tragisch, wenn man nicht dort war. Da ham die Griechischen weit schönere und interessantere Kultstätten zu bieten.I thought it was amazing - to walk through the ruins and connect with the history. I would recommend the archeological site first then the museum but either way is great!

We were also told there was no audio tours available to book which would have helped.
