"If there is a demonstration........." Demonstrations Tip by leics

..and you are near Syndagma (in particular) you can expect to see lots of police.

You may not (hopefully) see anything much else.

Whilst I was visiting the farmers (so I was told) were demonstrating. Riot police in fullgear were much in evidence for all the days of my visit, mostly standing around and smoking but on occasion closing or blockoing Mitropoleos or adjoining roads.

If there are no problems, then just wander around as per normal.

Take photographs with some caution; don't make it obvious.

If it looks as if trouble is beginning then remove yourself pretty speedily. Bystanders can easily get sucked in.

The same advice would apply in the UK, by the way.

If you are staying at a hotel in or near Syndagma you will hear the music/loudspeaker speeches etc from demonstrations. I didn't find it a problem as they had all gone home by 6pm.
