Not sure if this has been covered elsewhere so apologies if it has. When visiting this year I don't really want to take loads of cash so I'm wondering what it's like trying to use credit cards at tavernas? I have a Clarity card from Halifax which provides one of the best exchange rates and would really like to use this as much as possible. The preloaded atm card I have is not a good rate and I don't really want to have to head up to Skiathos town when I need more cash. Can anyone offer any advise? Thanks

I have never really had any problems in using credit cards in Skiathos, but it has been 4 years since my last visit, so with the financial situation I don't know if that has changed. Occasionally you will get a taverna that frowns when you present a credit card though. Best ask before you sit down and eat if that's how you want to pay.
There are now a few more ATM's in the resorts for getting your cash, which will save you going ito town for it.

Have used credit cards every year without any issues. However, we only tend to do so for "large" bills say over €100 when there are a few of us & only in larger establishments. Then if you're happy with the meal & service, leave cash tip. Oh, & occasionally used when I'm buying shoe's etc!
