Stoppage by guards to affect archaeological site visits
[Nikos Kokkalias]
Visiting Greece’s archaeological sites may be tricky on Thursday morning, after the union representing antiquities guards, PEYFA, announced a four-hour strike starting at 8 a.m.
PEYFA says that the walkout is a “warning” to the ministries of Culture and Finance against privatizing ticketing at the country’s archaeological sites and state-owned museums.
The action comes after the Archaeological Resources Fund issued a decision assigning the task of issuing electronic tickets and managing visitor arrivals at the Acropolis to a private company.
