Debit cards or alternative in Greece

Clarity was up there as a recommended card for a while, I’ve got one so will take that as well as the Revolut

I’ve been to Greece and Cyprus a number of times but it’s been over 20 years and I’m going to Zante this time with SWMBO

I'm just curious.  Why do you feel that you need a pre-pay card (eg revolut) as well as a travel-friendly credit card?   I can see why >1 card is a good idea, certainly.  But I just don't get the desperation among many to part with your own hard earned money upfront, rather than save it and pay off the credit when due, after the event.  I'd have my Clarity plus other similar offerings - for example, one of those Barclaycards.  With the latter, you can even get cash from an overseas ATM at no fee, city rate and no interest.  And cashback.

I was recommended to Revolut but they couldn’t deliver the card within the timeframe I had before departure. Looking at reviews, I found a company called N26, who delivered my card two days before I left on honeymoon for Jamaica. No problems at all with payments.

My Nationwide debit card allows zero fee withdrawals abroad.
And my credit card allows zero fee purchases abroad, so I use a combination of both

Me too. Nationwide debit and credit cards.
I got to Greece every year and use credit card for meals, debit card for withdrawing cash at any places that don't take card.

Split the money over a couple of cards and I’d probably get some cash too. Monzo is another option for cash etc.

Have a good break.

Cool, that’s my plan.

‘Fee free’ cash withdrawals by Revolut for bits and pieces , credit card for meals and drinks etc

Just remember pre-paid credit cards don’t work anywhere that has no internet connection such as kiosks and card only petrol pumps.

My Monzo card works fine at card only petrol pumps.
