Those planning on doing some sightseeing in Athens this weekend should note that the archaeological site of the Acropolis Hill, and the archeological park on its slopes, will shut down at 17.30 until the end of the day on Saturday.
The site will be closed to the general public in order to accommodate an EU event, coordinated by the General Secretariat of Sports, the Culture Ministry said on Thursday.
