I have some time off later this month and I was thinking of going to Greece. I’m a bit concerned, however, about what I’ve been seeing in the news about strikes and services being suspended. Obviously, I’m not very clear on the details. So, I thought I would ask for some first hand accounts from anyone who’s there right now. What sort of services are in peril? I just saw a news article about a taxi strike. I guess my main concern is transportation and still being able to get around.

Thanks for any insights.
