Rules in force · 6Plaka's lanes have steps and stone paving
- Greece ↗Greece is in the EU and the Schengen area: check entry rules, the EU Entry/Exit System and any travel authorisation requirement for your passport on official sources.
- Greece ↗Taking stones, pottery or other objects from archaeological sites is illegal; so is exporting antiquities without a permit.
- Greece ↗Do not photograph military sites or border zones; signs mark them.
- Athens and Attica ↗Summer winds can cancel ferries; leave a spare day before a flight home and check the operator on the day.
- Athens ↗Plaka's lanes have steps and stone paving: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Athens ↗In summer heatwaves the Acropolis can close during the hottest hours; check the official announcement on the day and go at opening.
