Museums dotted around Greece are scheduled to reopen to the public on June 15, after almost three months of lockdown following the coronavirus pandemic.
A distance of two meters between the visitors and air-conditioning, using open circulation, will be required, and the use of face masks and antiseptic is also recommended.
The number of visitors per hour in all museums will be limited for extra safety.
The country opened its ancient cultural heritage center on May 18, when visitors were again free to marvel at the Acropolis, Delphi, Ancient Olympia, and a host of other archaeological sites across Greece.
Cultural events in outdoor spaces can take place as of July 15. This mainly affects events organized by municipalities, which will also have the responsibility that all appropriate social distancing and other measures will be kept.
The most famous summer Greek festival, at the ancient theater of Epidaurus, can potentially open on July 15, but a firm decision will be made by the artistic director and the festival’s board, depending on further developments regarding the pandemic.
