Greece has taken steps to tackle overtourism at its iconic Athens Acropolis archaeological site, reports CNN.
Starting 04SEP 2023, the daily number of visitors has been limited to 20,000, with a new booking website implementing an hourly slot system. Currently, the Acropolis sees up to 23,000 visitors daily.
