Today’s bank rates:
1 €UR = £0.9068 GBP
1 €UR = $1.1250 USD
£1 GBP = 1.1028 €UR
$1 USD = 0.8889 €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.
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.

'My travel agent sent me to Greek spot in April but the pool and shops were shut'

 A young woman has slammed her travel agent after she arrived at her hotel in Greece to find it was the off-season.

Grace Webster was devastated by the experience claiming the pools had no water in them and the shops were all shut. She claims she and her friend were so disappointed, they returned home the next day.

Google Chrome emergency update fixes first zero-day of 2023

Google has released an emergency Chrome security update to address the first zero-day vulnerability exploited in attacks since the start of the year.

The new version is rolling out to users in the Stable Desktop channel, and it will reach the entire user base over the coming days or weeks.

Chrome users should upgrade to version 112.0.5615.121 as soon as possible, as it addresses the CVE-2023-2033 vulnerability on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.

This update was immediately available when BleepingComputer checked for new updates from the Chrome menu > Help > About Google Chrome.

The web browser will also automatically check for new updates and install them without requiring user interaction after a restart.

Dogs and cats ‘passing on antibiotic-resistant superbugs to owners’
Drug-resistant infections kill around 700,000 people a year globally

Dogs and cats are passing antibiotic-resistant “superbugs” to their owners, a new study suggests.

Dogs, cats and other pets are already known to contribute to the spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogens that can cause human disease. But until now it was unclear whether infected pets were actually sharing the pathogens with their owners.
