Based on Alpha Bank exchange rates, these are widely used by exchange agencies in Greece.
Other banks likely to offer a different rate which may be marginally higher or lower.
Banks and foreign exchange offices normally charge standard 2% commission.
You may get a better rate changing your holiday money in advance at e.g the Post Office (https://www.postoffice.co.uk/travel-money).
NB: some f-ex agencies advertise "No Commission".
Invariably, they deduct commission before they (don't) advertise the rate.
Foreign exchange offices are businesses, not charities.

RSPCA advice - what to do with baby birds found outside nest
As the RSPCA gears up for a hectic bird breeding season, they have offered advice to well-meaning animal lovers on what to do about baby birds.
Before taking any action or making a call to the charity, they are urging people to first check the expert advice on its website – this will help keep their phonelines free for emergency calls.
New figures have revealed the charity’s emergency line took almost 11,000 calls about baby birds last year - an average of five calls an hour flooding in during peak times.
However, many of these calls were unnecessary, as the charity’s online advice explains many birds - especially fledglings - are not in danger and can be left alone and monitored from a distance.
