The Acropolis archaeological site will be closed from 12:00 to 17:00 on Wednesday due to high temperatures. Ticket holders can visit after 17:00 until 20:00.
This precautionary measure aims to ensure the safety of visitors and staff during the peak hours of the heatwave affecting the region.
The Ministry advises those who have pre-purchased tickets for the affected hours that they will still be able to visit the iconic site later in the day. The Acropolis will reopen at 17:00 and remain accessible until 20:00, allowing visitors to enjoy the historic landmark in cooler conditions.
Authorities are closely monitoring the weather and will provide updates as necessary to ensure the well-being of all visitors. This decision follows similar measures taken in the past to protect both tourists and the ancient structures from the effects of extreme temperatures.
