do we need traveler's cheques in Santorini and Naxos?

My DH read in a book that there aren't that many ATMs in the Greek Islands. Are there any ATMs on Santorini and Naxos? I figured no one really used TCs anymore, especially from following this board lately, but I wanted to check. Thanks in advance!

When I was in Santorini 9 years ago, there were enough ATMs that it was not even an issue; I would imagine that there are even more today.

Hi sunny,

There are tonnes of ATMS everywhere you go in Greece including Santorini and Naxos - I wouldn't waste my time with travellers chqs personally. You wont have any problems - honest! Just make sure you have a 4 digit pin (mine was 6 and I changed it before leaving on vacation.

Have fun,

Murphy

Depending on which village(s) on Santorini there are ATMs in abundance (to help people pay for all that jewelry for sale if nothing else).

Thanks, everyone! That's what I figured. Just thought I'd check.

BTW, we read that bit of misinformation in Greek Island Hopping: The Island Hopper's Bible, which we are using as one of our primary references. I am now wondering what else the book got wrong. I'm pretty sure we have the newest edition, since I bought it new in a bookstore.
