Greece is known as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. While some popular attractions in the country are known to many, the cost of living in the country is generally not known to those living outside the country. Such information is important when planning a trip to such a popular country to avoid getting stranded or ending the trip with a seriously strained bank account. Euro is the official currency in Greece and any other currency will have to be converted to the country’s official currency to be able to make transactions.
