It may sound a bit harsh, but the Greek economy is going to crash like an Indonesian airliner. Many of us hit the Brasil circuit largely because of their currency crash back in 2002. Top-notch pussy at bargain basement prices was an awesome draw.
If Greece does leave the Euro, the Drachma is going to be one shitty currency. High unemployment, a crashing currency, a shortage of money, a massive recession bordering on a depression, all in a nice warm place with awesome beaches and good-looking women looking to make a few bucks any way they can?
Greece may be the place to be for the hobby in the next year.

Do Greek women shave? Anywhere?

If memory serves, I believe they shave the bottoms of their feet

Actually even if they keep the Euro the prices still should be fairly low. They have 26% unemployment regardless of the currency and if you have cold hard cash now they still can't get to hard currency so you'll be able to drive a bargain.
I've never been to Greece but I've met quite a few here in the UK and they are pretty nice as a whole.

Greek girls are beautiful
Just beware of all the con men, and con women
Went there once about 20 years ago and had my con "antenna" up 24/7. And still got conned for about fifty buck$
Hombres, you have been warned once again by me

Sniper,
When they exit, the drachma will open with a value against the euro. The drachma will then crater, sooner or later. Sooner, being the day it debuts. Later would be a few weeks or months after, when they can no longer maintain a fixed rate with the euro.
In theory, it would take a year or two for Greece to gracefully exit the euro. In practice, they might not have much time at all.

Love that SF_Hombre humor. Miss you here, dude!

Trust me, the Drachma won't happen. Too much to lose by letting the Greeks out of the Euro.
Actually if the Drachma does reappear, there would most likely be hyper inflation while the Greeks figure out how to price things. Same thing happened when the Euro came into existence.
I was in Germany when the Euro arrived. Mongering prices were all over the map until they could figure out what to charge.
But you are right, Greece prices would eventually fall.

From a small number of reports, I do not believe that mongering in Greece is all that great, there's nothing like Terma's or FKK's and brothels are described as dumps. My hope is that more Greek women are going to move abroad to work in places like London and Germany. There are some there already and I expect more are on the way if 50% of younger workers are unemployed. They'll be earning Pounds or Euro's and banking it, sending small sums home as needed. I'll be returning to Düsseldorf in September and expect to meet a few more than before.
Sniper, don't be too sure that Greece will remain in the euro. They're been running up too much debt that they can't afford and now the bills due, they cannot pay.

Too much to lose if Greece leaves the euro. They can't afford to let them go.
In the end, it will also create a global crisis if they leave.
It aint happening.
I'll put money on it.

Well surprise...surprise, Greece is getting a bailout.
;-)
I think why some of the people thought Greece was going to go back to the Drachma was that they only get US based media.
Fact of the matter is, CNN and Fox News report soundbites that don't really tell a story. Greece leaves the Euro and it makes big news and sells advertising.
I'm learning very quickly with my time here in the UK is that BBC isn't opinion oriented entertainment. It's real news with opinion properly labeled as opinion.
So the word in the news here was that Greece would strike a deal.
