Credit cards finally accepted at Acropolis

Greece’s Culture Ministry announced on Monday that individuals and tour groups visiting the Acropolis would be able to pay for their tickets by credit card from now on.

It said that while there are cash difficulties in Greece, tour groups can pay by voucher if the group has one.

Otherwise, the group agents can give a credit note to the ticket office including their tax identification number, and would be able to settle the cost after the banks reopen.

The ministry says this is a years-long request that is now being met.

Greece has shut its banks for a week and imposed limits on cash withdrawals and transfers amid concerns the country could fall out of the euro.
