    I booked the last minute on the day, 6pm because I wanted to catch the sunset,unfortunately the sun was far from setting and even at 6pm it was still terribly hot. On the spot we found out that if you just buy your ticket there you can go in until 8pm. There was also really no one to queue up, so a ticket with expedited entry is downright ridiculous here.

    There was no line when we arrived and when we checked in, they charged us an additional 3 Euros per person, so purchasing ahead of time did not save us time or money. The Valley of the Temples is interesting to see, and worth the price.
