Greece\u2019s Education and Religious Affairs Ministry announced that prayer spaces will be specified for Muslims in Athens on Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.<\/p>\n

The ministry said the capital\u2019s Peace and Friendship Stadium (SEF) in Neo Faliro and the Olympic Stadium (OAKA) in Maroussi will be made available for Muslims wishing to celebrate the end of Ramadan in early July.<\/p>\n

Groups wishing to use the facilities should forward applications in writing to the board of SEF or OAKA by June 17, ekathimerini.com<\/a>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

Muslims in other areas of Greece are advised to contact local authorities to find out about prayer areas.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ramadan began in the Muslim world on either Monday or Tuesday and Muslims will celebrate the end of a month of fasting on Eid al-Fitr, which will fall on July 6.<\/p>\n

Muslims account for nearly 1.3 percent of Greece\u2019s 10.7 million population.<\/p>\n

Greek Muslims have long called for building a grand mosque in the capital Athens to accommodate the religious needs of the growing Muslim minority.<\/p>\n
