These riots, which led to looting and fires, have been located in the downtown core, specifically Syntagma Square, which is bordered by important government buildings, including Parliament. The riots began due to Parliament's approval of unpopular austerity measures, so the square is a logical target for legitimate demonstrations.

The United States embassy in Athens issued an emergency travel warning over the weekend, but the warning was discontinued after Monday.
