If you’re heading to Greece at the end of August, there’s a nationwide event that should be on your radar.
Each year, the country’s Ministry of Culture unlocks over a hundred archaeological sites, monuments and museums after dark to coincide with the full moon and lets visitors in for free.
This year, it will fall on Friday 28 August. From around 7:30 pm until midnight, visitors can enjoy historical treasures from temples to Minoan palaces under the moonlight, several with live concerts, choirs or guided tours built into the programme.

Of the 126 sites, several are some of the top visited attractions in Greece, so seeing them in a different light is extra special.
