Greece travel problems

GREECE-bound travellers should be aware that a general strike has been called for Thursday (20 May).  This will cause a shutdown of airports and airlines and other parts of the transport infrastructure.  With the strike called by both the public and private sector unions the country is likely to come to a complete halt with street protests a strong possibility.  On the previous day (19 May) Greece must repay some €9bn in expiring debt, using international rescue loans. www.gnto.gr
