It is important to note that the Acropolis Museum follows a modified version of this rule. As a result, entry is not free on the first Sunday of each month during winter, and the following dates also differ:
– March 6: Melina Mercouri Memorial Day
– March 25: Greek National Independence Day
– May 18: International Museum Day
– October 28: National Anniversary of No (Ohi Day)
