The Culture ministry on Sunday organizes more than 110 events at archaeological sites and museums across Greece to celebrate the night of the full moon.

The unique Odysseus Elytis poems will mark the events that will take place in Cyclades, the islands of Northeastern Aegean as well as Delphi.

On moonrise, a recorded recitation of an extract from Elytis' renowned "Axion Esti", read out by the poet himself, will be simultaneously heard across the event sites of the Cycladic islands, Ikaria, Lesvos, Limnos, Samos, Chios, Psarra as well as the archaeological site of Delphi in a symbolic attempt to "bridge" those places and their people.

The archaeological sites and museums that participate in the full moon celebrations will be open to public from 21.00 to 24.00, while admission will be free of charge.
