According the news of 24 June 2010.

The minister of culture and tourist Pavlos Geroulano announced that tourist who visit Greece and has to make additional cost to get home because of strikes or Iceland volcano will get full compensation from the government of Greece. Although most parts of Greece has no problems with strikes or unrest except for Athens.

That's a very generous offer from a government that is operating on borrowed funds.;)

 

They do this way because they are afraid loosing many tourist and that will cost more. By the way about the volcano, it sleeps already so it's easy for that part to made promises.

 

Because of strikes the last few day's there are 80% shortage on gasoline in Greece, makes travel very difficult.

Hopefully the assurance of reimbursement will convince those who are avoiding Greece because of the potential for disruption to their travel plans, to go there.

It's a beautiful country!
