Back in the late 1990s....I went off to vacation in Greece, which I admit, it’s a four-star place to vacation. And yes, I used Drachmas....although the bars would readily accept dollars in payment for drinking.
The thing about Greece and their economy...which is so fragile...is that there is strictly the freighter business, the tourism sector, and the agricultural sector. That’s it. They don’t manufacture anything worth discussing, from cars to even decent beer or wine.
What they were attempting to do for the past five or six decades....was trying to live like Italy, France or Spain...and they just weren’t in that position. They can’t manufacture cars. They can’t produce steel. And they can’t even produce four goofy singers like ABBA.

Hey, they did have Melina Mouscouri...who was actually a big star in Europe in the ‘70s. I was once forced to sit through listening to one of her cassette tapes by my Dad. That woman’s voice sounded like what a cat would wail after getting hit by a beer truck....did not understand her popularity
