One thing I wonder is why I haven't heard more about the riots?

ABC News is covering it.

Maybe most of the US media doesn't feel that there's sufficient interest in the story to run it. Is there a big expatriate Greek population in the US?

It was initially the protest of young people against what they perceive as a looming police state. And then it became a looting mob. Kinda sad - the initial protesters probably achieved the exact opposite of what they intended...
