FCO withdraws advice to take cash to Greece

Tuesday, 6 October 20153 min read

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has withdrawn its advice for tourists to Greece to take euros to cover the duration of their stay.

The government department updated its travel advice to say it no longer advises taking the cash for the whole holiday.

In July, holidaymakers were advised to take euros in cash in case they were unable to withdraw cash from ATMs during their stay.

The economic crisis in the country led to banks closing and Greek residents being limited to the amount they could withdraw each day.
