I was in Athens several years ago on business. i.e. everything is on the company's dime, so everything was tabulated for their books.
We found that a good many of the cafes asked for cash only, and would not outright turn down a cc but frowned upon them.
We went to a recommended restaurant, ate there, and again they asked for cash. I obliged them paying in money, and then asked for a receipt for my company's books.
We just got done handing them a couple hundred for a group meal but the requesting of a receipt enraged them and they threw us out of the building.
Afterwards I was told that this had became commonplace there as businesses report almost no profits for tax purposes.

Yeah, they frowned at my credit card all the time but I'm a tall Norseman and they knew I would annex the Island if they started anything funny.
