Longer hours, pricier tickets at Greek museums and archaeological sites

The summer schedule for Greece’s archaeological sites and museums came into effect on April 1, meaning they will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Meanwhile, the Greek Ministry of Culture has announced a series of ticket price hikes for sites and museums including the Athens Acropolis.

Yes, think you might have a bit of a wait! I suspect it only applies to the main tourist attractions, although the article doesn't make it clear. Be nice if some of the smaller ones stayed open a bit later though.

Of course, while you were waiting you could always join Tony for a dip in the sea... or just hand him a load of towels when he comes out!
