Are credit/debit cards readily acceptable in Greece at supermarkets, restaurants and fuel stations. We are due to make our way to Greece this weekend, just hoping the currency rate of exchange improves3.

Hi @Tykatem, we're off to Greece for a month in May...thinking of have a look round the Peloponnese..have you been...any recommendations?We had no problems using our Revolut cards in fuel stations and large supermarkets, whilst in Greece last month. As Lenny said, the restaurants prefer you to use cash. We only stayed on one campsite (and that was just for 2 nights) the whole month we were there and they willingly accepted cards.

May is a lovely time of year in Greece. Lots of wild flowers. We've spent a lot of time on the Mani peninsula but not in the MH. Love that area.Hi @Tykatem, we're off to Greece for a month in May...thinking of have a look round the Peloponnese..have you been...any recommendations?

In order to crack down on tax fraud by businesses not declaring earnings on cash transactions, the European Troika monitoring the Greek Government insisted the Government made a law to force most businesses, including tourism, Doctors, Lawyers et al, to install card terminals. It is now an offence to refuse to take cards at businesses that have terminals.
If they refuse your card - walk out. They can do nothing.

Night time was warm but bearable - didn't need the aircon on just had the apartment window open.Umm - that seems proof enough - how about night time temperatures? Although difficult maybe to judge as not in your MH.
