Cash points and cash

(1/2) > >>

Cathy P:
Hello, I keep hearing 'rumours' about cashpoints in Greece not having cash. I know there's only 1 cash point in San Stefanos, can anyone tell me if there have been any problems with cash withdrawals this season? I am going to bring some cash but don't want to bring loads as it won't be insured. Thanks!

Also, does the travel agency take credit cards for trips?

3 days to go... :)

Cerys:
There are now 2 cash machines in San Stefanos and also 1 in Arillas. Don't let the 'rumours' scare you, we are business as usual here in San Stefanos. San Stefano Travel does accept card payments for excursions etc. and most businesses in San Stefanos also accept cards (do bear in mind that a small bank charge will be applied to each transaction). Also, if you are worried about storing valuables such as large amounts of cash etc. then there are safety deposit boxes available for rent in the San Stefano Travel office as well as in many other establishments around the village.
Kind regards,
Cerys. 

Cathy P:
Awesome news. Many thanks!

Just make sure you take enough cash to see you though the first 2/3 days.
When we were in San Stef the cash machine was very hit and miss. It was the same in Skala, Kefalonia this year. There were 3 there and every day I used to walk past 2 out of the 3 and everyday at least one had run out of money!!

Nothing to do with the troubles just to do with it being very, eerm Greek!!

You'll be able to get money out but there maybe a couple of times when both have run out..... just have a buffer fund

Enjoy

I would think that with 2 cash machines now, things will improve on that front.
As Gav say's  - - common sense would say take a decent amount of cash.
