I do not know the present exchange rate in San Stefanos but I can give you the following information.
The rate in San Stefanos is on average 2 points above the best rate you can get in the U.K.
For example 1.20 in UK = 1.22 in San Stefanos.
The thing to remember is in San Stefanos you usually pay 2% commission which makes both options pretty much the same.
The UK rate I have quoted is where you obtain it without paying commission.One way of doing this is using the Post Office Online and using a post office credit card that does not charge commission on foriegn currency exchange.
Do not be fooled by claims in the UK high street saying it is commission free as they reduce the rates to counteract this.
Please note that exchanges in San Stefanos are for cash transactions.I am not sure if the Greek financial problems will effect them.
You can check out the best UK rates on moneysupermarket.com.
I hope this helps.

Thomas Cook phoned yesterday to say they were offering 1.24.
Too late, now, though, we've already got ours.
