Revenues from visitors to the Acropolis increased in 2023 compared to 2022, according to Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni, ANA reports.
“With the upgrades of the past year in all services of the electronic ticketing system, which was established in 2018, revenues from the Acropolis continue to rise. From 46 million euros in 2022, they have reached 60 million euros in 2023,” noted Mendoni, responding to a question from Nea Aristera Deputy Nasos Iliopoulos.
At the same time, the minister of culture rejected the accusations of the Nea Aristera MP that “the government is implementing a brutal policy, raising the cost of entrance tickets for visitors by up to 300%, impeding tourism and widening social inequalities.”
“The new pricing policy, which will take effect from April 2025, does nothing more than follow the rationale and good practices of other European countries, even though the prices, compared to those in similar monuments, remain noticeably lower in Greece,” stressed Mendoni.
