Ten new cases of coronavirus confirmed on Kefalonia yesterday by EODY.

Today's bank rate:
1 GBP = € 1.1567
1 USD = € 0.8614

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.
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.

Holidaymakers urged to use £132m in travel vouchers

Holidaymakers are being urged to use £132m worth of unspent vouchers issued during the pandemic before they lose financial protection.

The credit notes were offered by travel firms as alternatives to cash refunds when holidays had to be cancelled.

The vouchers, backed by the Atol insurance scheme, can be used towards new holidays or exchanged for cash.

But the regulator said the refund protection against firms going bust will end on 30 September 2022.
