The UK Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for Greece, which includes warnings about crime, local laws and protests
Holidaymakers in Greece have been advised to 'stay aware of your surroundings' and 'follow the advice of local authorities' as security measures are heightened at some tourist hotspots.
Protests have occurred and further demonstrations are expected, particularly in Athens, leading to a warning for tourists to remain vigilant. Holidaymakers have been instructed to 'stay away from protests' and to vacate the area if a demonstration begins. "There is currently a heightened risk of such protests, particularly in central Athens. Stay aware of your surroundings, stay away from protests and follow the advice of local authorities.", reports Birmingham Live.
The Foreign Office has issued a warning, cautioning: "Some demonstrations in the past have turned violent. Avoid demonstrations wherever possible and move away to the last known safe place. Security forces often use tear gas to break up demonstrations, which can harm your breathing and vision."
