Having visited Greece (well, Corfu) a number of times, and as much as I love the place and the people, the primary reason they prefer cash is because they’re not big fans of paying taxes.
Didn’t they go through a whole thing where other countries were imposing shit on them to force repayments of national debt? Maybe understandable then that tax evasion is popular if a lot of what is paid in taxes isn’t going towards improvements to your own country.

Well if they dislike taxes, they probably hate transaction fees even more.
It might have had something to do with people waiting in line to withdraw 60 euros too.
