Is a €1500 in cash enough for 1 week in Greece?

Not been to Greece for a long time but have seen must places only accept cash, apart from big supermarkets and the like which happily take cards.

5 excursions booked and paid for, online food shop booked and paid for, so this is for drinks, lunch, ice creams, petrol, parking and a couple of dinners out. Family of 5 will have debit and credit cards on us so access to more money if needed.

TBF we are mostly shopping in small shops away from the main tourist areas.

We were in Crete last year, and even in Chania town we had to pay cash in a couple of the smaller restaurants. I had to dash to an ATM at 10.30pm and got stung by £30 transaction charge that I didn’t notice, in my hurry.
I did find eating out relatively reasonable though.

I suppose the answer OP is take less cash (1500 is a lot to have on you..I know theres a safe but you still have to take it there) and use the card when you can.
