Tourists in Greece warned by Foreign Office banking services may be limited

Warning about potential bank closures echoes similar advice issued in the US and Australia as European Central Bank caps emergency funds to country

The Foreign Office has updated its advice for those travelling to Greece with a warning that access to banking services in the country may become limited at short notice.

The change in advice comes as Greece teeters on the brink of defaulting on its debts, which could trigger an exit from the euro or the closure of the banking system.
