Thank you clausar, very helpful, many guidebooks warn that with the economic crisis hours of sites can vary including close early so glad to see perhaps the opposite this summer.

Greece appears to be getting many positive write ups in the British press. It is possible that so many people have skipped it for the past 3 years, it is now seen as the time to revisit.

Riots in Athens was never going to boost tourism, even if the violence was 100s miles away from a Corfu beach.

Good to see.

When we arrived in Athens Sept. 2013, we were slightly worried about "riots." But it was kinda a joke. The "riots" were demonstrators unhappy about the government but in no way a problem (other than traffic).

I hope tourism picks up in Greece, it's a great place to visit.

2013 was the best year in the history of Greek tourism with 17,5 Million visitors.
This year the number will climb to 19 Million tourists according to experts.

This is of course only positive for the Greek economy .

Thanks Clausar for the useful info. Makes planning a lot easier. We will be in Athens, Santorini, Napflio and Delphi and Meteora in October.

This is great news for me. I will be in Greece in May, and it will be great to be able to visit during these extended hours, especially late in the day.

Great news! My last trip to Greece most sites were closing as early as 3 PM.
