I don't know the ins and outs of the monetary problems in Greece but when I was there two years ago it seemed like it was running smooth enough. A few things they have in spades are beaches , culture and sunshine; things that people from North Europe will pay for no matter what money they have to carry to Greece! I say pull out of the EU Greece go back to the Drachma pour a few shots of ouzo and wait for the next boat load of tourist to show up. I loves me some Greece!!!

Do the north of Europe lack culture? I do get the lack of beaches with acceptable warm water, and cheap living but culture...

as they comments below pointed out, I was not trying to say Northern Europe did not have culture, just saying that Greece has a boat load of it! All that mixed together they have a ton to offer.

Many parts of Northern Europe were nowhere near as civilized as Greece was 2000 years ago. Therefore, Greece's culture is both different and, in many ways, more ancient than culture in the north

Northern Europe doesn't lack culture, more that Greece has an abundance of culture in comparison going from Ancient Greece, the Byzantine Empire, Holy Roman Empire and Ottoman Empire.
