We’re OK for food and fuel, Greece tells tourists

WHILE Greek banks will remain shut until at least midnight on Monday – as part of the country’s euro and #debtcrisis – the government’s ministry for economy, infrastructure, shipping, and tourism insisted there was no threat to food and fuel supplies.

A statement said the ministry ‘would like to re-assure visitors to #Greece that hotels, restaurants, shops, and supermarkets have adequate food supplies, the prices of which have remained stable if not reduced as in the case of fresh fruit and vegetables.

‘This is also the case for fuel, as gas stations are adequately stocked and prices remain unchanged. Any reports stating the opposite are not reflecting the actual situation on the ground.’

It added: ‘The ministry for economy via the general secretariat for commerce is working closely with local authorities and food companies and has taken all the necessary steps to ensure the supply of goods to the Greek market continues to operate as normal so that demand is entirely covered not only for the Greek people but also for the numerous visitors who have chosen Greece for their holidays.
