Greece

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.
