This is an overall forecast, due to the mountainous terrain the weather can be very localised.                
Based on forecast from weather.com (http://weather.coml)               
               
Today's bank rate: 1 GBP = €   1.1335         
               
£ GBP     €uro      -2.00%      
100.00   113.35   111.09         
               
Based on Alpha Bank exchange rates, which are widely used by exchange agencies in Greece.                
Other banks likely to offer a different rate which may be marginally higher or lower.                
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.

Allegedly the super-yacht 007 has been seen in Sami bay. No connection with James Bond apart from the numbers.

Most fully vaccinated travellers arriving from non-red list countries will no longer have to take a test before setting off for the UK.
