The locations of ATM's in Agios Stefanos.....

1 outside the Thomas Bay Hotel
1 outside the Crystal Daisy Shop (next to Margarita's supermarket).

There is also 1 in Arillas by the junction before heading down to beach.......

Why say don't use them? What are the problems that have been experienced?

[Jules]

Sometimes they do run out of money and you may not always get a good rate

Wasn't too bad last year. Got a rate of about 1.16 when exchange rate in village was about 1.23

Ok for emergency

I used the ATM near the beach, in September 2012 last so it may have chanced but back then the machine gave two options, a guaranteed rate of 1.14 or the prevailing rate when the transaction goes through your bank. I took the later and when I returned home I checked my bank, the rate charged was 1.251 !!! reduced by my banks fixed fees to 1.219 on a withdrawal of 200 euros (so with a larger withdrawal the rate would have reduced by less).

Significantly better than the 1.14 guaranteed, not sure if my bank would have charged their fees on the 1.14 but I expect that they would so reducing the rate to 1.10.

Potentially £16 more expensive on my 200 euro withdrawal

If the ATM software is the same take the non guaranteed rate.
