Better to buy currency in Greece?

I'm going to Greece this weekend and wondered if I would get a better deal taking sterling and getting it changed there?

    Depends where you're going and what rates you can get over here...

    I've been using Nationwide (before they introduced charges) and now Halifax Clarity cards to get cash out of ATMs for several years, but remember getting a slightly better rate in some resorts than you could get from the Post Office over here (but it was a very very small difference).

    What debit/credit cards do you have?

    Best rates are on the main site http://travelmoney.moneysavingexpert.com/
