It can be a bit rocky but I managed with a walking stick. There may be some areas you may want to miss just because of the depths of steps but usually there is a work around. The stoa is a bit of a step up but if you go to the far right or the building you can take two steps onto an area beside the stoa and then step through into the stoa. The steps up to tge next floor up can be quite slippery but there are handrails.

We’ve done a guided tour of the acropolis and are going to the acropolis museum tomorrow. Just wondering whether or not to squeeze in the Agora site as well, or if the museum will be similar to the acropolis museum? Can you see the Temple of Hephestos without actually going inside the Agora site? Thanks for any responses

Well, I gave the Agora a good review but I would truly only try to squeeze it in If you have just tons of free time. I am not 100% but pretty sure you must pay admission for the Ahora to get in Hephestos. It was a beautiful day too when we walked the Agora so if hot, I would spend more time in the Acropolis museum which is fantastic. Enjoy Athens!! Hope this helps.
