"New Visitor Regulations for Greece's Acropolis: Limited Daily Access and Staggered Entry Times"

Starting next month, the Acropolis of Athens, Greece's most popular archaeological site, will limit daily visitors to 20,000 and implement hourly visitor caps to prevent overcrowding and bottlenecks. The new rules aim to protect the monument from the negative impacts of excessive tourism. The limits will be implemented on a trial basis from September 4 and permanently from April 1, 2024. Similar visitor caps will also be imposed on other popular archaeological sites in Greece.
