    • Regarding the admission and entrance fees mentioned (EUR 95.00 per person), please note that these fees are always paid directly by the travellers themselves at the official ticket offices located in front of each archaeological site. The reason for this is that: Entrance tickets are issued only through official ticketing offices. These offices require payment by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express) and do not accept cash payments. Ticket prices are subject to periodic increases, almost every year, and may change without prior notice. There are discounted rates for students holding a valid student ID card, as well as reduced prices for children. For these reasons, it is not possible or practical for us to include these entrance fees in the tour price.
