They have been in debt for decades even before changing their currency to Euros. There are many aspects with regards to Greece's downfall and it's inability to bounce back. Primarily, they are suffering from high rates of inflation and unemployment when compared to other european countries. Moreover, their constant need of borrowing money makes them vulnerable.

During the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Greece debt-to-GDP ratio was around 179%  and its budget deficit to GDP is around 12%  almost four times the Eurozone's allowable budget deficit. Major Credit Rating Agencies lowered the sovereign rating of Greece to "junk bonds", scaring off investors and driving up the cost of credit.  With these scenario's, Greece were having difficulty repaying its debts, thus triggering the debt crisis in Greece.

There was a decrease in tax collection by the government of Greece which led to increase in borrowing so as to finance the country's budget. Greece borrowed more and it became an indebted Country. Decrease in tax was caused by tax evasion by business people and corruption in the Country. This discouraged foreign investors in Greece.
