Closer to 50 percent IMO. But Greece denominated in Euros never made any sense to me.

I go back to the same village on Crete with some regularity. A house I considered buying pre-Euro for about $100K is now on the market for about $1.5 million. Insanity.

Greece produces nothing. It's shipping industry is largely offshore. Tourism is the main industry. Its insane how the Euro has distorted real values in Greece.
