(ANSAmed) – ATHENS, MAY 18 - Greece's Culture Ministry has
appointed a team of experts that are amining a change in the
price structure of tickets to enter Greek museums and
archaeological sites, Culture Minister Nikos Xydakis revealed on
Monday as Kathimerini online reports. In a response to a
question in Parliament, Xydakis said the panel would be
examining schemes implemented in other countries and would not
be proposing an across-the-board increase in ticket prices.

He said that a new ticketing system would be introduced at the Acropolis from June and would then be extended to the next 59 most popular sites and museums. The minister also indicated that the ministry would like to make greater commercial use of Greece's heritage via the Internet, including offering more merchandise. (ANSAmed).
