The usual requirement from a Schengen embassy is €35-50 per day. For my fifteen day trip I technically had to give proof for €580. Obviously €580 for a fifteen day trip is way too little; you should know it and definitely the embassy knows it. It would be much easier if each one of you shows a bank statement for thrice their minimum amount. A good amount for a 7-8 day trip would be €1300-€2000 each

There is a reference per diem amount required to satisfy the "means of subsistence" requirement, which is €50 for Greece. So that works out to about €400 for your trip. But that's a minimum amount, you also have to show that you have a stable situation and that the costs of the trip you're planning is commensurate with your means. That's why it's best if your bank statement shows evidence of a regular income rather than a large amount of cash.
