Title: 08/11/21
Post by: Maik on Monday, 08 November, 2021 @ 02:33:05
Nine new coronavirus cases on Kefalonia yesterday, as announced by EODY.

Today's bank rate:
1 GBP = € 1.1349
1 USD = € 0.8428

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.

Ten day weather forecast for Kefalonia:
This is an overall forecast, due to the mountainous terrain the weather can be very localised.
