Please note entrance into the Acropolis is denied after 1500 hours during the winter months**!! Lots of people turn back disappointed; I guess no one expects a sight to shut so early.
Once in, however, people can stay on for a 'bit' longer :)
They are very concerned about the restoration & preservation of their heritage sights.
** 'Winter months' in this instance means low season for tourism, i.e. between October and mid April. Don't worry, during the peak season it's open till 1900!
However March has temperatures in the 20s, so one would expect longer visiting hours :-( It's due to the fact that more staff would need to be employed, perhaps not viewed as worthwhile when there are not enough visitors.
