Capital controls on bank accounts restrict people’s ability to travel, however some discounts are in place to help alleviate the financial burden

With these rates you can combine voting with a quick weekend getaway:

* There will be 50% discounts for Greek Railway (OSE) tickets through to July 6, the day after the referendum – a 25% discount will apply for KTEL intercity bus services.

* All highway toll charges will be suspended over the weekend to ease joureys of voters wanting to participate in Sunday’s referendum.

* There is free travel on public transport following capital controls placed by the Radical Left Coalition on Monday. Athens metro, buses, trolley services are free until July 7 but not for the Proastiakos suburban train.
