Dear bee, it's the first time to go abroad, and I want to know what card to swipe in Greece.

Credit card.

Capital controls only apply to credit cards and debit cards issued by Greek banks, which means that foreign tourists' credit cards and debit cards can be used completely. Whether you swipe your card at a POS machine or withdraw cash at an ATM machine, the limit is limited according to the standards of the host country.

Credit cards can be used in hotels, restaurants and shops in general tourist attractions. VISA and MASTER are the most common and best credit cards.

But cheap homestays and small restaurants in remote places may not be able to use credit cards.
