Acropolis visitor services to be upgraded with reuse of nearby properties

·

The Ministry of Culture is repurposing the building at 18–20 Dionysiou Areopagitou Street and redeveloping the adjacent plot at 20 Vyronos Street to enhance services for visitors to the Acropolis archaeological site.

The project will open both properties to the public, combining modern infrastructure with educational and cultural facilities while preserving the historic character of the sites.

The building will feature a cloakroom with self-service lockers, additional sanitary facilities, a multipurpose space for children and school groups, and a retail shop operated by the Hellenic Organisation of Cultural Resources Development.

The Vyronos Street plot will be transformed into an open-air multipurpose space that can operate independently or in conjunction with the Areopagitou building.

Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni said the initiative “strengthens the infrastructure serving the Acropolis archaeological site and its slopes” while significantly improving the visitor experience.

The project preserves the morphology of the historic building and maintains the open-air character of the adjacent plot.
