lunch budget

[somogirl]

How much do you spend for lunch and drinks on the islands?

Depends. Sometimes we opt for a quick "eat and run" lunch (like a yummy gyro on Mykonos) so we can have more time to explore. Sometimes we take more time (not too often) and have a more relaxing bigger meal (like watching the sunset on Santorini).

 

I will say, after two trips to Europe/Med expect to spend twice as much as you think you will, oh, and pack 1/2 as much as you think you need :D (actually this is a good tip...... use the laundry service onboard !)

I agree - you'll spend twice as much as you think on lunches and use the laundry services (I know tip you didn't ask for - but so true!). I think a Greek Salad on the islands is about 7-8 Euro (so around $11) plus water (get the big one - don't fool with the small ones) is about 3 euro ($4.25), plus if you drink any alcohol count on another 5-10 Euro. So for each person, to be conservative (i.e. so you don't go over), I'd count on at least $20 for lunch, more if you make it a bigger meal.

We had lunch at a beachside cafe on Santorini and for 2 it was about 30E, no alcohol. In town expect higher.
