Sixty-six archaeological sites and museums in 51 regions beyond Attica will provide the stage for 70 new arts productions over the summer, the Greek Ministry of Culture & Sports announced on Wednesday.

Greek museums, forced to shut their gates to the public in November, used lockdown time to find alternative ways to keep in touch with the public, carry out needed maintenance work, and expand the objects on show for the day actual visits are allowed.

Greece expanded its measures of closures on Friday to prevent the spread of coronavirus epidemic by ordering the shutdown of coffee shops, bars, malls and restaurants.
