The Central Archaeological Council approved improvements to serving visitors at the key archaeological site of Ancient Messene in SW Peloponnese, it was announced on Monday, ANA reports.
The refurbishing projects at the north and south entrances of the site will be ready for visitors by the end of 2025.
Ancient Messene was dug by the late archaeologist Petros Themelis, who was concerned about making the site available to the public while sustaining it environmentally, a vision the newly approved plans conform to. Its ancient theater, like that of Epidaurus, is open every summer for theater shows and musical performances, attracting several visitors and playing a significant role in local development and tourism in the Peloponnese in general.
