There is now only 1 ATM in resort the one at Thomas Bay has been removed.  So its outside Crystal Daisy between Margarita's supermarket and SS Travel.  Otherwise its over to Arillas or down to Sidari as the ATM in Avliotes has also been removed.

If you can get over 1.2 on your card in the summer I'll buy you supper!

The GBP to euro rate is looking very good at the moment, I can smell that free supper!!

I'm was and am talking about taking Euros. We have plenty of Euros bought at the highest available rate. If you can get over 1.2 on your card in the summer I'll buy you supper!

Used my "no commission/no foreign loading fee credit card" for the first time on Saturday evening (5th July) at Zorbas.  The statement showed up at my online banking today.

Zorbas bill = 28.22 euros, bank statement = £22.22
28.22 divided by 22.22 = 1.2601 (credit card exchange rate)
Proof, of course, will be provided.

Best exchange in village at present is 1.24 minus 2% commission = 1.215
TravelFx today = 1.24

So Jimbo, Knowing you're no cheapskate, I've provisionally booked for my free supper from Manthos, a nice big lobster.

It's no good using your new super Halifax Clarity credit card as he doesn't accept them, however it's great for all the tavernas etc that do.

Waspman - It will certainly have to be somewhere which will accept the Clarity card which you so wisely recommended.

Boy - did you get lucky on the exchange rate!

No luck, just financial awareness!

Exchange rate in village yesterday was 1.25.  It had been 1.23 most of the time.

Yes Karen but, minus the 2% commission it is 1.225, so not as good as UK online
