I agree with you, Mara, but we see this trend globally now. Visible security is a necessary evil to ensure these heritage sites remain accessible to everyone.

Right mess. You pay a fortune to see some old ruins and end up getting chased by a bloke with a knife. Makes you wonder why anyone bothers with the crowds these days. Glad they caught him, but doesn't make the holiday any better, does it?

It's so distressing to see such violence happening at a place as historic and peaceful as the Acropolis. I'm just glad the suspect was caught quickly. Do you think sites like this need more visible security now, or would that ruin the experience for visitors?
