Off to Greece in July. B&b basis, no plans to hire a car. Possibly a couple of excursions. How much spending money does anyone think I'll need for me and my 16yr old daughter?

How long is a piece of string (and how long are you going for)?

I could easily do a week with £500 for two and have change. Others will spend thousands.

If you have to buy lunch, dinner, shopping and excursions I’d allow around €120-150 per day, sometimes you’ll spend much less and sometimes more but I reckon it’ll even itself out as an average.

Depends entirely what you want to do - fancy restaurants, alcohol or totally budget. The answer is as long as a piece of string.

Sorry forgot to say just a week. I usually go AI but wasn't overly impressed with the last hotels food/drink

I'd allow 100 Euros a day for food and drinks but you could easily spend less and another 100-200 for a couple of excursions, again it could be less.
Food and drink is pretty cheap.

We as a family of four went to Rhodes a couple of years ago self catering. It was as expensive as the U.K. some restaurants worked out around €80 for a meal including a couple of wines and 2 beers.
