The last euros left the only ATM on the Greek island of Agistri on Sunday afternoon.
“My boyfriend and I couldn’t pay for the motorbikes we’d hired on the island and only gave the owner our last 20 euros,” said Emile Fitzsimmons, a 24-year-old studying law in London, who was on her way to the Acropolis in Athens Monday afternoon. Now armed with enough cash to get by until her departure Tuesday, her concern was for the Greek people. “Being here on holiday, I realize how serious it is for everyone.”
