The Greek service sector is the largest and most heterogeneous component of the national economy. It comprises a considerable variety of activities ranging from street vending and rental of tourist rooms to highly automated telecommunications, sophisticated financial transactions, and public administration. The service sector also probably includes a good portion of the "underground economy." It is therefore possible that the value of its output and its employment level are understated.
