Unprecedented capital controls in … 21st century Greece apparently have a “silver lining”, albeit a very slim one, as “red tape” appears receding on some fronts.
Take the ticket booths at the Athens Acropolis, for instance, which will for now accept credit cards and debit cards for the first time! They’ll still accept cash, too, assuming tourists bring enough with them.
Greece’s culture ministry, in taking its cue from the rest of the “cap-controlled” government, announced that the option of using “plastic” would be available to both individual tourists and organized groups.
Groups can also enter using vouchers. For voucher-less individuals and groups, licensed tour operators can submit their tax particulars, allowing the site’s management to charge the entrance fee when banks … reopen.
