L@ser 'attacks' seen at LGAV

I've seen a green l@ser while landing at Athens (LGAV) perhaps 3 weeks ago. I recall seeing it twice, once on the left of us, approximately abeam the coast line while on ILS03L, and again (I guess a week later) from our 10 o'clock position approx. 5DME out on ILS21R. Can't say it was that disturbing though. Both times I guess it was about 9 or 10pm.

Perhaps its more of a threat to VFR/Heli's, than it is for airliners as we tend to be more head's down & concentrated on the instruments.

It would be interesting to know how many other pilots have noticed l@ser pointers while on approach to LGAV.
