Laganas

Is it better to change your money out in Zante this year rather than in England?

a bit late for this person but  we weent in june 08 and exchange rate was varied between 1.21 and 1.23 which is still better than in the uk   BUT  if you frequent the pink panther karaoke bar  the karaoke host jessie  gives a better rate of exchange  which was 1.25  when we was there

can anyone tell me what exchange rate is like in Laganas as going out end of Aug 08. Do you know if they charge commission if you exchange euro travel cqs I know they dont for sterling?

dont change your money here wait till you get there traverlers chequs we got 145.20 cash i got145.00 no commission .

went september2006 was getting 145.20  cool

 If i'd have known the exchange rate was 0% commission and better than over here in the Uk i would have taken english money to change. i was there for 2 weeks and the exchange rate was no less that 1.41 and when i left it was 1.43. But still, best to take travellers cheques i suppose for your own security!

No commission.... 2% commission lol

id advise you take sterling travellers cheques you get better exchange rates the place on the main strip nr maccies an flanagans is good

i noticed that you either get commision free exchange or a higher exchange rate, either way you end up paying about the same.

Make sure you shop around if you can. We stayed at Hotel Olympia and they kept our passports for the whole time so we didn't have much choice about where we got our travellers cheques changed up, but I did notice the big bank place on the main strip had a slightly better exchange rate.
