Why did Greece ban high heels?

In Greece, it's illegal to wear high heels when you're touring ancient monuments like the Parthenon and the Acropolis in Athens, or any other historic site. The law was created because of concerns that heels would scratch and damage the stones. High heels are great, but they're not always appropriate.
