Security Considerations in Athens
Kolonaki serves an affluent Athenian clientele as well as visitors passing through the city on their way to Mykonos, Santorini and other islands. Summer, from late spring to October, brings heavy cruise and tourist traffic. Boutiques need officers who keep a steady presence at the entrance, recognize regular clients and work in Greek and English.
Syntagma Square is the center of public gatherings and demonstrations, which can close streets and affect access to nearby stores with little warning. Summer heat waves affect exterior posts and staff welfare. A security program should track scheduled events, brief officers on alternative access routes and apply the same Post Orders in Kolonaki and at suburban sites such as Glyfada.
