Greece will limit visits to the Acropolis from September

Archived material. Last modified on the old website: 2023-08-31. Prices, dates and terms have been preserved from the original and may be outdated.

Up to 23 thousand people visit the Acropolis daily, with half of the tourists arriving between 8:00 a.m. and noon, although the Acropolis is open until 20:00. This creates uncomfortable conditions for visitors and employees trying to accommodate such a large number of people.

The Greek authorities are introducing restrictions on the number of visitors to the Acropolis from September. From now on, no more than 20 thousand visitors per day will be admitted to the famous historical site and hourly visitation limits will be set

Greek Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said that the new system will be tested in early September. The restrictions will then be implemented from April 1, ahead of the 2024 summer season.
