Yes definately get your euro's in Sidari, my mate lives there, her bf works in one of the apts, so I am in regular contact, the best so far, about a week ago was £1.19 on the strip, there are two on the strip in Sidari that are really good, one next to Memories restaurant and one just a bit further up from there, I will keep you posted when she txts me on whether its gone up or down, but the euro is terrible here, so I am exchanging most of mine in Sidari in August when we go, hope this helps.

I dont actually know the name, theres about 3 on the strip, they are all the same more or less, the one further up is better, much friendlier, but I guarantee you the rate is so much higher in sidari than back home, last year it was £1.18 back home and we got £1.26 in sidari, so much better, take my word for it its going to be much higher in sidari than back home, it always is, i will ask my friend if she knows the name of the place, but cannot guarantee, but I will try for you.

you get charged not much though, the banks charge you, unless your with nationwide i think, they do a good card so i am told, but you dont get charged a lot, its the same everywhere you go really.

Normally charge 2% commission,always ask for the rate given after commission added. Have heard the rate is very low in St George South...1.10!!! If it is still like that in August,will be changing most of it here before I go!!

We just got back on Monday and the exchange rate was 1.17 roughly the same everywhere but they all charge different commision. When the commision was knocked off it worked out that you was getting approx 1.15 to the pound.

Hope this helps and have a great time.
