Foreign Office has advice for Holiday makers in Greece but wont say?
If Greece Fails to pay it Creditors the Foreign Office has a plan to help Brits Holidaying there but won't say what the plan is- does the Government or even the Foreign Office have plan to help Brits in Greece are
Could the Reason they won't say is because they don't want panic anyone until the time is near a greek exit or just covering all bases, plus vistors to the Country have been told to take enough Euros because banks are running out of Cash
Any idea what the British Government Plan is to help people holidaying in Greece if the Country leaves the Euro

Links to your sources please.
My guess is:
Where necessary, chartering aircraft and flying holidaymakers home.
Underwriting any financial exposure of British travel companies, airlines or agents with operations to or in Greece
Underwriting any financial exposure of British banks who have lent to Greek companies or the Greek government
Any change to that is dependent on what happens with the Greek/EU/IMF talks which are still going on, the likelihood is yet ano sticking plaster will be applied and all will be as it was before.
Yes, another "sticking plaster" will be applied.
Greece is now politically, socially and economically unsettled. The country is a member of NATO and closer to the Med and the unfolding problems of migration from the Middle East.
I suspect the EU and NATO would prefer to continue periodic summits and more bailout money. The alternative may be even more unpleasant.
This is current situation is an utter tragedy. My views on the EU are well know. At some in the future, senior leaders in the EU and Greece must be called to account through a public inquiry and possible prosecutions.
But for the time being, the focus is on choosing the least worst options for Greece.
The reason they won't issue the advice before it's applicable is it's not yet applicable and therefore would confuse people
Take your money in cash. Whatever currency it is in, the bar and restaurant owners will be grateful for it.
Just avoid the Ouzo.
I heard it on ITV Evening News
Greeks are the most laid back people I have ever met.
I have holidayed on most of the Greek Islands and never had a bad holiday with them yet.
So don't be put off make sure you take enough money with you and maybe a bit extra.
I feel this is what the Government is thinking about people not getting stranded without access to money.
GMT Greek maybe time.
Scaremongering!
Greece is no where near as bad as places like Tunisia! But still people book to go on holiday to Tunisia which is far far poorer than Greece, far unsafer than Greece, far more politically unstable than Greece. And of course ISIS now occupies parts of southern Tunisia, not to mention the terrorist attack against tourists in a museum a few months ago!
I'd much rather be going to Greece than Tunisia, at least I'd feel much safer and more secure in Greece!
Surely that's people's own responsibility to take precautions look after themselves? It's why you should have travel insurance.
It's more likely that if you are in Greece on holiday the Greek government will be asking you to lend them money to pay their bills.
