The Acropolis in the Greek capital Athens has been closed during the hottest hours of the day to protect visitors from the Cerberus heatwave gripping the country.
Tourists have been barred from entering the country’s most popular attraction from 12:00 to 17:00 (9:00-14:00 GMT).
Athens is sweltering in temperatures of 40C (104F) or more.
Much of southern Europe is experiencing extreme heat with potentially record temperatures expected next week.
