Very interesting, let us know how you go clients wise with paying via BTC.

I would also be interested to know what POS system they are using.

Very bad idea and possibly against their TOS.

Should use a proper wallet or provider instead.

As I said, use a real wallet, such as blockchain.info (https://blockchain.info/wallet/) to receive payments, then transfer once in a while the funds either to a cold paper wallet, or to the exchange and trade them with a currency of your choice.

If you prefer you might directly use bitpay (https://bitpay.com/) or similar services, though the fee is slightly higher (but you are much safer from sudden drops in value, such as today's).

Sure, but it isn't better for them: this might be violating MtGox TOS and they risk their account being closed, AFAIK...

Glad to here it this is a smart idea on their part for sure and good news in general.  Hope it starts a trend in Greece!  I would imagine a couple early adopters might check it out for the hell of it, I know I'd consider it.
