Turkish media outlet Türkiye Today accuses Greece of marginalizing Ottoman-era monuments and cultural layers around the Acropolis through new infrastructure and cultural routes focused on ancient classical sites.

In a major cultural boost for Rhodes, the Ministry of Culture is advancing restoration works at the “Pervola” archaeological site within the UNESCO-listed Medieval City.
