The Culture Ministry will once again organise events of the night of the August full moon, under the coordination of the General Directorate of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage, offering free admission to selected archaeological sites, monuments, historical sites and museums on the night of Monday, 19 August 2024.
More than a hundred archaeological sites, historical sites, museums and monuments, across the country, will welcome the public under the moonlight. Events will take place at over fifty archaeological sites and museums, while as many will remain open to the public with free admission.
In the context of this year’s event, a programme of events will take place from August 9 to 25, which include musical and theatrical performances, star observation, storytelling and guided tours, organised by the services of the General Directorate of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage and by the General Directorate of Restorations, Museums and Technical Projects, many in collaboration with local government and local associations.
Events will also be put on by the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Byzantine Culture in Thessaloniki, as well as the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion.
