How long does it take to get to the top of the Parthenon?

If you have no mobility problems, then the assent may take you around 15 minutes but you will want to stop a couple of times to take photos. Once at the top it isn't as crowded as the middle stone step area, which gets very congested and can slow you down. Take water with you as on a hot day you will need it. Enjoy.
