Is it worth going?
In April, I paid half of the vacation contract for two families. Departure scheduled for July 12th. The rest of the money must be paid by June 20. Elections are scheduled for mid-June in Greece. By the end of June, as their finance minister said, there will be no money left in the banks at all. I'm afraid that a big default will break out and the dispatchers will stop working, the hotel will not receive my money, etc. Can I spit on an advance payment (120t.r.) and pay for a tour to calm Turkey?

Can spit on an advance payment (120t.r.) ...
120t.r. is, as I understand it, 4000 US dollars. In truth, the rich have their own laws. Of course, the travel agency will be lucky with such a refusal.

2 days returned from Greece - Halkidiki-Kasandra. First time in Greece. And the last. We rested in 16 countries of the world. The hotel is good. No complaints. BUT! the same village is in Halkidiki. Poverty and dirt. The mentality of the local population is disgusting. Arrogant people in cheap clothes. It seemed as if they were in the Scoop in the 70s. They are still far from Turkey.

oro.egor, and what is the connection between the default and your tour? In default, on the contrary, it is more profitable to rest)))
tatgr2004, about poverty (!), dirt (!!), cheap clothes (!!!) too much. Are you Turkish?

Halkidiki will soon become a branch of the Crimea. But this is only thanks to exSSSR tourists. But there is no poverty. Only the Turks are full of clinging and the sellers are intrusive. Greece is different. Halkidiki is being pushed by travel agencies. So you, tatgr2004, have been "sucked in".
And for oro.egor! Strike in Greece according to the schedule is such a national fun. It has nothing to do with default. Prices are cheap in Greece now. And nature is great. When we were, all this mess with the crisis in Greece began. And the drivers of fuel trucks went on strike. They wrote in the news that gas stations would not work, there would be no gasoline. And we, as it were, rented a car for 14 days. And we were frightened by the news that some ferry workers might go on strike (we won’t get to the islands), and, in general, it’s coming..a. And upon arrival, a continuous siesta! These strikes of theirs are fun. Three cripples passed with beer and transparent ones dragged along the ground. Fuel trucks, yes, they were on strike (and truck drivers), not a single truck on the road, a driver’s dream. Gasoline was everywhere, without a queue, at a normal price. And the carriers stood peacefully by the side of the road and drank merrily, talked, etc.
Relatives call us and tell us in horror that tomorrow there will be no gasoline again, the media say. And in the morning, everything is OK again.

I think that the troubles in Greece can really strike at you only if the air traffic controllers go on strike (and they have been on strike regularly for 3 years already). Everything else, it generally will not touch you in any way.
The calmness of Turkey is approximately equal to the troubles in Greece. Europe is still
Ride and relax, especially since you have already paid in part.

What nonsense!!! I have been living in Greece for 15 years and political games have never affected us. I myself booked and paid for hotels for my mother and sister (for a visa) and not a drop of doubt.

I don't know about Halkidi, I recommend the islands - Crete, Rhodes. I'm sure everything will be ok. You can't really compare with Crimea

Thanks everyone for the advice. Indeed, strikes are unpleasant, not critical. Although hanging at the airport for 10 hours due to the actions of dispatchers is a gesture. Especially if you are with two spinogryzami and a friend - a disabled spinal. I'm afraid of another. In the event of a default, banks stop serving customers, the hotel does not receive my money (and all other services in the tourism sector) - and that's it. Khan. Moreover, travel insurance does not provide for such risks. Anyway. Closing my eyes, I believe in the prudence of the Hellenes. But I'm ready to argue with tatgr2004. Most likely you were just unlucky with your mood, companion, weather. The Greeks have a lot of shortcomings, but they are forgivable. And last but not least, pay attention to the price and branding of the clothes of the local population. This is exactly what sovietness is. Live in Khrushchev, drive a used German sedan from the heyday of the Modern Talking group, but at the same time spend money on Max Mara and Zenya.

tatgr2004 13 times was in Turkey, so her hatred of the Greeks is understandable and understandable, like any Turk.
I wish you a good rest without shocks and sorrows in a friendly atmosphere, surrounded by people close to us in spirit and mentality.

Don't even think about such things! Come, relax and enjoy the beautiful and magical country! Have a nice rest!

The islands in Greece are definitely not affected by politics. And on "fingers" like Halkidiki. If you are not going to Athens, you risk nothing.
