Athens, Greece (AP) – Authorities shut down acropolis for several hours due to high temperatures because the work restrictions remained under influence in other parts of Greece.
The Ministry of Culture Archaeological Service announced the closure between 1 pm – 5 pm (1000 GMT -1400 GMT).
The compulsory task brake was employed in many other areas, mostly on islands and parts of central Greece, where the temperature was more than 40 ° C (104 ° F). Measures started on Monday for outdoor workers. Those who do not face fine of 2,000 euros per worker ($ 2,350).
Officials said the risk of wildfires, already “too much” in the eastern mainland, is expected to grow during the week.
