Ninety five new coronavirus cases confirmed on Kefalonia yesterday by EODY, three on Ithaka

Today’s bank rates:
1 €UR = £ 0.8649 GBP
1 €UR = $ 1.132 USD
£1 GBP = 1.1562 €UR
$1 USD = 0.8834 €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.


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

Greece also puts Russian assets on ice

The freezing of assets of Russian citizens named on an international list sent to all European Union countries in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has begun in Greece, according to sources.

The list that has been compiled so far includes 870 Russian nationals who own property (movable or immovable) and are active internationally, including in the United States and in EU member-states.

The list has been forwarded to the head of the relevant authorities in Athens dealing with money laundering.
