18.1 Cultural stock: collections, treasures, points of attraction

During full moon plus eclipse, as was the case on August 16, 2008, the archaeological sites and the Acropolis itself was open at midnight to the public. Music was played around the Acropolis. For those who had not left Athens for holidays, along with all the tourists staying in the city, this became a major point of attraction. It is facilitated during the day and night time by the successful implementation of the Unification of Archaeological Sites: pedestrian walks were created after freeing former streets from use by cars and other transport vehicles. This has given back the ancient landscape to the modern visitor and adds to the possibilities to image how it must have looked like ‘back then’ in Ancient Greece when Pericles gave his funeral speech or the citizens of Athens left the Agora to go to the Polis. The freeing of spaces so that the imagination can travel through time is a most important experience well known to the tourist industry, but also to writers, philosophers, poets and anyone interested in retelling the stories of Ancient Greece. There is also something to be gained out of these poetic inspirations as ‘human measures’ as departure point for philosophy can add to how life in modern cities can be both imagined and realized.

18.2 Upgrading accessibilities to cultural reference

Efforts should be undertaken to link modern museums and cultural routes with web based accessible possibilities to obtain further information and to learn further about the objects just seen or the museum having been visited during the last visit to the city. The upgrading should substantiate the knowledge base which is not the case, for instance, if the major museum of Greece, the National Archaeological Museum, does not have as of yet its own website.
