I'm taking cash, as a last resort I may (towards) the end of the holiday pay a tab or 2 with my debit card but i will not be relying on the ATM's.

All foreighn credit card holders, are allowed to withdraw the maximum limit set by their banks and you can also use your credit card to pay for any service!

Why would anyone use the overseas ATM's and pay the high commission fees charged by the majority of our banks? Bring euros from UK and use specialist credit cards where possible.

Yes until the ATM's run out of money. And I'm sure the locals would prefer cash than a card payment at this time.

Just got home.

Several places quietly requested that I pay in cash rather than plastic. Whilst banking restrictions remain in place almost everywhere needs to pay suppliers in cash. The ATMs have continued to have cash in Agios Stefanos during our two weeks.

Greece last night more or less gave in to the Creditors, so an agreement this weekend seems more probable, if Germany will allow it. There is some anger in the village; this deal could have been made 5 months ago, saving much suffering and economic damage. Several told me the referendum was a farce, since the government is about to accept the very deal the referendum said "Oxi" to.
