Packed with sights
From all the things on the Combo ticket I think this one is the most worth seeing, apart from the Acropolis. The site itself is huge and offers a lot to see, it's pretty close to the Acropolis so chances are. you will already be in the area. If you want to properly experience it without rushing I recommend going after lunch, bringing plenty of water and allocating a few hours to this place. There's a museum in the main Stoa building which displays a lot of artifacts found in the area and explains some of the customs. There's plenty of statues, ruins, nature, etc to admire. There's a temple there which is very well preserved despite suffering from a fire. In general, I think you will find this one of the more interesting in visually stimulating sites to visit in Athens. If you've taken the metro you might have seen this site from underneath as the metro line runs directly through it. We truly enjoyed our time there, just wish we went there after lunch so we wouldn't be rushing so much.

Another Glimpse of Ancient Greece
The admission to the Ancient Agora of Athens was part of the 7 site ticket over five days at a cost of 30 Euros. It's a very interesting site with great views of the Acropolis, and an ancient temple. There is also a church on site, which was closed and a museum displaying artefacts across the centuries. There are plenty of restaurants outside the main entrance should you want a drink or food.
