Summer opening hours for archaeological sites and museums is proposed by the Ministry of Culture

Instructions to the general secretary of Culture of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, regarding the issue of the summer schedule of the country's archaeological sites and museums, sent yesterday by the Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism Petros Alivizatos.

The undersecretary, recognizing the delay in the recruitment procedures of seasonal staff through ASEP due to elections, which does not allow the issuance of a relevant administrative act for summer hours, as well as the intense protests of the tourist world, requested the immediate implementation of temporary operating hours from 9.30 a.m. until 5.30 pm.

The temporary operation during the specified period negates the need for staffing in two shifts, in order for the spaces to function even after 3 pm.

The public will be able to visit the areas of responsibility of the Ministry of Health and Welfare from 10 a.m. until 5 pm, thus overcoming the staffing difficulty faced by the regional services in correctional staff.

This schedule does not apply to archaeological sites that already operate with two shifts and beyond 3 pm, such as the Acropolis of Athens, which continue with their existing schedule.

Alongside, the deputy minister sent instructions for better utilization of the existing prison staff, requesting his immediate disengagement from any tasks and facilities that are not his competence and requested that the services performed be readjusted, in order to achieve better field guarding.

Museums and archaeological sites with winter hours until June

No tender was announced for the selection of seasonal employees due to elections

Winter opening hours for museums and archaeological sites, at least until June. This is the bad news for culture and tourism as the announcement of the election did not leave room for the recruitment of seasonal employees through the ASEP process, as mandated.

Regarding the delay anyway, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that it only received the relevant permit on 29 Of March, a fact that did not allow him to announce the tender in time. Again, however, recruitments will only be made for 680 employees instead of 1000, who had been hired last year but were still not enough…

So the museums will continue to operate until 3 at noon while the archaeological sites until 3 or 5 μ. μ. with the exception of the Acropolis which is open until 7.

However, there is also good news, which was announced by the general secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Mrs Lina Mendoni, that from time to time 2015, other recruitments will be made with seven-month contracts (always through ASEP), in the framework of European programs for public benefit projects.
