All inclusive means that you won't need much in the way of spending money but you probably will get bored with the food and want a couple of meals out allow about �50 for this between you. Cigarettes are about �13 per 200 for the main brands. Phone calls home if you want to make them will be about �5 if you use a phone card.

Souvenirs are cheap if you just want kitch. They have trips out but you can use a card for those if you want them. They have lots of fake designer clothes and bags up to you if you want them. T shirts about �3 each, bags about �5.

Do not buy the perfume from anywhere other than proper duty free shops. It is ALL fake!

Have a lovely time.

so about �100 for me and the �200 he wants to take should do it?
I would say that should be enough! Make sure you have a back up Cirrus Card with you in case you need to draw some money for emergencies.
Depending on how long you planning to stay. I would suggest 300-350 GBP in total if you don't travel with a group . 50-60 GBP for a dinner for two. 15 GBP for clubbing access including the first drink, add 8 GBP for every next drink.

Be careful
*not to need of buying bottle of water from street shops and cafes,its too expensive.... get it from super-markets and
have it with you.
* not to move around by taxis without knowing the local charge rate. Get to the taxi with Greek tourists so that drivers won't exploit you.

Around 10-15 GBP for sun bathing expenses, deck-chair, umbrella, a sandwich, ice-cream etc.
10 for drinking coffee etc. in cafes

Cigarettes are about �13 per 200 for the main brands. CO-SIGN.
Souvenirs are cheap but don't go for low-quality cause it shows , go for island pendants and similar stuff that are beautiful and at good price.
