The Acropolis of Athens, Greece's famous archaeological site, will implement a maximum daily visitor cap of 20,000 starting next month.
The measure includes varying hourly entry limits to address overcrowding and bottlenecks at the site.
The decision is in response to the need to preserve the monument's integrity and ensure a sustainable tourism experience.
Up to 23,000 visitors per day, mostly in large groups arriving before noon, have been causing concerns about the site's preservation.
The goal is to balance the benefits of tourism with the preservation of the Acropolis, as emphasized by Culture Minister Lina Mendoni.
The new measures aim to maintain the historical significance of the Acropolis while providing a better experience for visitors.
