What Currency and Payment Methods Work Best in Greece?
Euro is the currency; cards are widely accepted at luxury hotels, restaurants, and beach clubs. Keep some cash for tips and small kiosks.
Amex is accepted at many premium venues but carry a Visa or Mastercard backup. ATMs are plentiful; use bank-branded machines to avoid fees. Some taxis and small boutiques prefer cash—carry €50–€200 in small notes.
