Practical Santorini guide
Money, Cards & ATMs in Santorini
Practical information about euros, cards, ATMs, cash and paying for everyday expenses in Santorini.
Currency
Greece uses the euro (€). Cards are widely useful, but carrying some cash is sensible for small purchases and contingencies.
ATMs
ATMs are easiest to find in larger settlements such as Fira and tourist centres. Check the displayed withdrawal fee and exchange-rate option before accepting a transaction.
Dynamic currency conversion
If a terminal or ATM offers to charge your home currency, compare the rate carefully; your own card provider’s euro conversion may be better.
Backup
Carry more than one payment method and keep them separately. Do not rely on a single card for an entire trip.
