The law prohibiting high heels at historical sites such as the Acropolis and the Epidaurus Theater was passed in 2009, but fines have only recently been applied.
Violators can receive a fine of up to 900 € or even be arrested. Therefore, it is best to wear flat shoes on the territory of historical monuments, so as not to damage the marble surfaces.
A similar law is in force in Italy, where heels in historical places and being near monuments while intoxicated are also prohibited.
And in Greece, there is a fine for the incorrect location of deck chairs. We talk about it in the blog.
