Tourists visiting Greece will not be affected by latest developments, Greek government says

Despite rising fears that Greece was heading for a default, the Greek government Tuesday (KST) announced that there will be no disruptions in visitor’s every day holiday experience, neither in the islands nor in mainland Greece, the Greek Embassy in Seoul said.

The Ministry for Economy, Infrastructure, Shipping and Tourism said: "Greece continues to guarantee the highest quality of tourism services to its visitors, who have ranked Greece as one of the best destinations worldwide," the announcement said.

"Capital controls introduced by the Greek government do not apply to those wishing to withdraw money from an ATM or carry out any other type of transactions using credit or debit cards issued abroad," it said.

Deputy Minister for Tourism Elena Kountoura said that "visitors currently in Greece as well as people planning to visit Greece will not be affected by the latest developments and they can continue to enjoy their holidays in Greece without any problems whatsoever," the embassy said in a press release.
