11 day Sicily tour - bring euros or use ATM’s?

Hello!!
Just wondering how available ATM’s are on Sicily, and would we have time to access them during the tour, or should I plan on bringing euros?

Thank you!

ATMs serve the local population and they are as available there as they are here. Bring Euro if you like but recognize that you will pay a premium in the exchange rate. The best exchange rate is always the local ATM. You might consider having a hundred Euro in your pocket on landing just to get through the first day but no more.

It would be helpful to have some Euros on hand. There were a few cafes and pastry shops that did not accept credit cards. As Frank stated, €100 should be more than enough.

I spend a whopping 58€ in cash on the sicilian trip. 15 of these where for a taxi from the train station back home and return because I forgot my passport.

So 100€ should be enough and if not it is as others said atm are plenty.
