Why go
The Acropolis of Athens is the rocky hill that carries the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike, which Hellenic Heritage dates to Pericles' building programme of the second half of the 5th century BC. This record is the archaeological site; the Acropolis Museum below it is a separate place, and its FAQ says the museum ticket is independent of the ticket to the Acropolis. The Ministry of Culture's Odysseus page names the Ephorate of Antiquities of the City of Athens as the responsible unit and says the 'Acropolis and Slopes' ticket is used once: a visitor who leaves the Acropolis site or the South Slope cannot re-enter any site with it. The same page sends online buyers to tickets.hh.gr, the Ministry's official e-ticketing service, whose Acropolis page says entry is timed, a ticket may be changed up to two hours before the visit and tickets are not refundable. The museum's FAQ links a different address, etickets.tap.gr, for site tickets; XTOUR follows the Ministry's own page.
