Tourist SOS… Sunscreen, hat and emergency Grexit preparedness!

Newsroom June 21 08:16

The U.K. Foreign Office is on the brink of issuing new travel advice to British holidaymakers as Greece looks set for an economic meltdown. London’s officials state that current advice is “under review” even though the final draft is set to be made once the situation becomes clearer. Among the “issues” that tourists may be challenged by is the risk of cash machines shutting down if Greece defaults and the violent protests that could take place if the Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) caves in to its international creditors demands.
