Greece visitors told to take cash

Travellers to Greece have been advised to take cash reserves to cover emergencies in case its escalating debt crisis forces banks to restrict access to ATMs and cash dispensers.

The Greek tourist board in the UK said that while it anticipated no immediate problems, visitors should avoid relying solely on credit cards or local ATMs.

The Greek economy is struggling as EU finance ministers have ruled out further bail-out programs until Greece meets additional austerity demands to get its finances in order.
