Greece Debt Crisis: Athens Acropolis Now Accepting Credit Cards
Lorena Muñoz-Alonso, Tuesday, June 30, 2015As the Greek debt crisis deepens, the national government has imposed a daily limit of €60 euros ($67) on cash withdrawals from ATMs.
The draconian measure has not only hindered locals, but the horde of tourists that are descending upon the country for the summer holidays as well.
Athens's most popular tourist attraction, however, has come up with a handy solution: visitors to the world-famous ruins of the Acropolis can now pay for entry tickets by debit or credit card.
