Nah ... Greeks love tourism. Greek islands are peaceful places. Sure, I would avoid large cities and public places (tho even that might be being too cautious), but I doubt there will be much other than gratitiude for tourists in the islands. They NEED that income and all small islands are like mafias ... crime breaks out that affects business, it will be nipped in the bud. Sure, I would expect a little more crime there if everyone is carrying cash, but the islands are one of their greatest assets and they know it.
Stand with the Greeks, take extra money and spend it all, they need it
I'm half expecting a massive street party once they are released from the tyranny of the EU, if that happens. Sure, lots of hard work ahead, but no more boot stamping on the face ...
macgsa, interested to hear your view ... btw, I am not implying that greek islanders are only friendly to tourists for the money
Greek islands are a place of Heaven that escaped on Earth. The current problem is that WE (the Greeks) cannot withdraw more than 60Eur per person, a day. That doesn't apply to a tourist coming to Greece. They have the ability to take infinite amounts. If you check the posts from tourists that are now on Greek islands, you see how the world is rolling here.
Personally, I don't anymore expect a Grexit. I don't expect a nice deal for us either, but I do expect a HEAVY debt reduction by the institutions. Similar to the one that occurred to Germany's debt in 1953 with the London treaty. Call me a fool, but that's what -I think- is the reason Greece has not already been on Drachma or something similar.
We look forward. We're strong and grateful that we live here. Money don't matter. People do...
YIAMAS!!!!!
Yiamas! Greece is a beautiful country.
