Advice, how to take money??

[julie49]

We usually rely on atm's but understand that this may not be a good idea, advice please on how best to take money?  The travel agent told me today that they are advising people not to use credit cards abroad because of fraud, but to take traveller cheques, they seemed to think they could be used as cash in restaurants? Would it be best to take travellers cheques in euro's or sterling? Any help appreciated.

Exactly the same as you. Euros for whilst there and some sterling for the taxis to and from Manchester

We do also make sure we have debit cards with us just in case but have never had to use them.

Always take €uros.... Have contract with company at this end for home to airport transfers. Pay Noula for transfers at other end in cash. Don't use cards abroad at all. Proved a good move last year as some nice soul spent £500 while we were in san Stef last July. Lloyds refunded our cash straight away.

Did your card get fraudently used in San Stefanos or back at home whilst you were away? If San Stefanos I wouldn't have beleived it. Total shock.
