Adjustments are expected to be made to the operation of the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion on Thursday, April 12, as the archaeological site will serve as a shooting location for the BBC’s “The Little Drummer Girl” series.

According to an announcement by the Greek Culture Ministry, the visitors access around the site will be subject to change from the site’s opening until 1 pm.

The BBC crew will film part of “The Little Drummer Girl” series at the Temple of Poseidon, after it was given the green light by Greece’s Central Archaeological Council (KAS).

The six-part mini-series is based on John le Carré’s best-selling spy novel and will feature Alexander Skarsgård, Michael Shannon and Florence Pugh. The project will be financed and produced by The Ink Factory in partnership with 127 Wall and co-producers the BBC and AMC. It will be directed by filmmaker Park Chan-wook.
