Day 33: Thur Mar 9

The Acropolis is a must-see every few years at least. This year, I did not rush to visit it again, but did make it in on Day 33. I mean, come on — it’s the Acropolis. The sun was shining, I had no daytime meetings that day, it was meant to be:

I took a number of videos too, but alas, they are lost, along with my phone. Long story, not for here, not for now.

I learned years ago that those who wish to enter with a Greek identity card enjoy greatly reduced entrance fees to museums and antiquities. On this trip, however, I also that Greece offers free entry to everyone (to the Acropolis and several other sites) on the following occasions:

  • March 6 — in memory of Melina Mercouri
  • April 18 — International Monument Day
  • May 18 — International Museum Day
  • The last weekend of September — European Cultural Heritage Days
  • October 28th
  • Every first Sunday of the month, from November 1st to March 31st annually
