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.
