4Don’t try to touch or take artifacts

It’s awe-inspiring when you find yourself at the Acropolis, or the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, or any of the thousands of archaeological sites all over Greece. It may be tempting to take a stone or pebble from the area as a keepsake or a souvenir. Don’t do that. It not only may get you in trouble with the authorities, but it is ultimately hurtful to the site and disrespectful to the country you are visiting. 

Don’t touch the stones or artifacts that are not behind glass cases in museums either. That is harmful to the artifacts and it may get you escorted out of a museum.
