The authorities of Greece, gripped by the strongest heat wave in more than 30 years, closed to the public during the heat hours all the archaeological sites of the country, including the Acropolis of Athens.

Due to the hot air, the temperature of which sometimes reaches 45 degrees Celsius, from Monday to Friday, from 12 to 17 hours, a ban on visiting ancient sights in the country has been introduced.

In 1987, when Greece was gripped by an abnormal heat wave comparable to the one currently observed, more than a thousand people died due to the lack of air conditioning and air pollution.
