Almost all hotels, big stores, and busy restaurants will accept credit cards but smaller vendors probably won’t. Some also claim their card machine is “broken” if they’d rather accept cash.
The Greeks, Santorini included, have a very Mediterranean eating schedule. Locals often don’t eat lunch until 2 pm and they may not eat a full dinner until 9 pm.
