While Norwegians who are going to Greece on holiday are encouraged to bring extra cash, have the first reports started to emerge about Norwegians who have been robbed for money once they have arrived in the country.
A 16-year-old Norwegian girl had 550 euros in cash with her. She barely had time to land in Greece before thieves stole her money on one of the Greek islands, writes the newspaper Aftenposten.
- In addition, we had another case of theft, so we fear that this will increase. Criminals know now that tourists are coming to the islands with lots of cash on them, said Deputy Information Officer Emma Elisabeth Vennesland in European insurance.
She, therefore, urges Norwegians who are going to Greece on holiday this summer to be cautious.
- Bring cash, but not large amounts. Spread the risk that the money are allocated to the whole party. Put the money in a safe wherever possible. And so we encourage everyone to take good care of their money when they stay on the beaches, said Vennesland, showing that travel insurance does not cover more than the theft of 3,000 kroner per person.A few days ago guaranteed the Greek Embassy in Oslo that Greece-vacation will be trouble free for Norwegian tourists.
