Kef fire risk 04/05/23: Low (https://civilprotection.gov.gr/arxeio-imerision-xartwn?field_imerominia_harti_value=05%2F04%2F2023)
Today’s bank rates:
1 €UR = £0.9091 GBP
1 €UR = $1.1374 USD
£1 GBP = 1.1000 €UR
$1 USD = 0.8792 €UR
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.
