One of Greece’s most famous landmarks is trialing limiting its daily visitors, starting today.
The Athens Acropolis archaeological site attracts visitors from around the world keen to marvel at the ancient cultural spot. Going forward, visitors will be capped at 20,000 a day, with a booking website keeping track of footfall and enforcing an hourly slot system.
In an interview with Greek radio station Real FM in August, Greek culture minister Lina Mendoni said that the Acropolis currently has up to 23,000 daily visitors, calling this a “huge number.”
Yes, and now Acropolis will get Disney World lines. And I am sure the Acropolis Genie app is coming, where just by paying $35 you can conveniently reduce your wait time from 1 hour to just 55 minutes! And of course in order to take advantage of the app, you have to use it exactly at 7am, because who the fuck is sleeping at 7 during vacation?!
