The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office denied a report appearing in the newspaper "Daily Telegraph," which seemed to suggest that the foreign office had changed the travel advice for those going to Greece in response to the "escalating debt crisis".
Replying to the Athens News Agency, a foreign office spokesperson said there had been no recent change to the ministry's travel advice to Britons visiting Greece and that the last time this was revised was in December 2012.
The spokesman said that the phrase quoted in the paper's article was standard advice given by the UK foreign office for those traveling abroad generally, "since it is wise for travellers to have alternative forms of payment".
The newspaper article stated that holidaymakers were being advised to take euros in notes and coins "in case an escalating debt crisis prompts the country's banks to switch off their cash machines" and then quoted the foreign office as saying that travelers should take "enough money to cover emergencies and any unexpected delays."
