It’s probably more strange that somebody would actually contemplate wearing stilettos for traipsing around sightseeing, than it is that it’s forbidden in Greece to visit ancient sites in high heels, but it takes all sorts, hey? Since 2009, visitors to places like the Acropolis have been forbidden from wearing shoes that contribute unduly to their wear and tear, so lace up your trainers and deal with an Insta-pose that doesn’t make you look like a gazelle. Priorities!
