Athens: A Frenchwoman on holiday on the Greek island of Rhodes was arrested Saturday for allegedly taking pictures of one of the island's military installations, the state ANA agency said.
The 49-year-old, who is believed to have arrived on Rhodes on Wednesday with her husband and two children, told police she was unaware that the area was off-bounds, the agency reported.
A local prosecutor will decide on Sunday whether she will be formally charged over the incident.
Greece rigorously maintains a no-photography rule at its military installations, especially on Aegean Sea islands bordering traditional rival Turkey.
Three years ago, two Czech computer game developers spent several months in police detention after being caught on the Aegean island of Lemnos with cameras containing video footage of various military sites.
Their detention on suspicion of espionage sparked protests in Prague, where more than 20,000 people signed a petition urging their release.
The two men told Greek police they had been working on a futuristic combat game for award-winning developers Bohemia Interactive.
