A man died after jumping off Greece's Acropolis, a major tourist
attraction visited by millions every year, police said.
Tourists witnessed the man's plunge, police said, adding he was not
Greek and believed to be in his late twenties.
"Witnesses said he ran and jumped off the Acropolis hill killing
himself," a police official said.
"We believe it is a suicide but we are still investigating."
Police said it was a rare case but not the first time someone had
jumped off the 150-metre-high flat-topped rock on top of which
stands the fifth century BC Parthenon temple built in the Golden
Age of Athens.
