I have just returned from 2 weeks in Greece. I avoided Athens, and traveled around the Peloponnese Peninsula . There was a "it is out of our hands" attitude in the villages. They are resigned to their fate, whatever it may be.
SavePersonally, I have always felt, to make a currency without a country work, is a big ask.
