Perhaps I should have said “bring enough cash to survive for few days…” but that’s not the point. Despite what Clausar says, and despite the latest Eurozone agreement, the POSSIBILITY of a Greek default still exists.
Emily has asked about the possibility of demonstrations, and she is right to do so. Anyone traveling to a foreign country has to consider the risks, be they strikes, demonstrations, terrorist incidents, or in this case, financial chaos. Greece wouldn’t be the first country to default – in the last 20 years 5 countries have defaulted in one way or another – Thailand, Russia, Argentina, Iceland and Brazil.
I like Greece. I’ve been there twice and enjoyed both visits. I’m only pointing out that there is a risk involved and anyone going there should consider what steps to take in order to lessen those risks for themselves.
