Hello this is Lisa!
As you already know we are facing some political struggles here in Greece.
Our Prime Minister has asked us if we should accept all the new orders from European Union or Not.
So the fate of Greece is in our hands. We still don't know what is the correct choice, but I trust that All Greeks whatever they choose they will do it thinking the general good and not their own good.
Truth is I am afraid that I might not like the results, but I am ready to accept whatever my people choose. People who love this country like me will stay here and fight and make this country a better place for Greeks again.
Yesterday I met a lot of touristis who where very understanding of the situation and they were very supportive and sympathetic. The Capital Control does not effect the tourisths and those who have foreign bank accounts or debit;/credit cards. On that matter please find bellow the press release of our goverment for those who travel to Greece.
We will do our Best!!
