Greece 2012

In light of the on-going economic problems in Greece and a probable return to the Drachma, would it be unwise to holiday in Greece around June/July time? I'm not clued up enough in an economic sense to know the effect of a return to the Drachma will have on exchange rates nor standard of living, availability of food etc in Greece (hotels).

Can anyone offer any advice?

thanks in advance

I'm no expert on the Greek economy but I'd be bloody sure any holiday there was booked a) with an ABTA bonded agent and b) paid for with a credit card. That way you can be sure to get your money back if things go seriously tits (or more so than they already have) out there in the meantime.

And c) you have comprehensive travel insurance, just in case

Its sounding more and more like I should consider somewhere else but the options for Europe are not great.....spain....maybe italy?
