Exchanging Money in Greece |
| Question: |
Please give me more information on exchanging money in Greece. Thanks |
| Answer: |
 |
With the introduction of the Euro there are fewer exchange offices than before but you will always find one in a city. Be aware that it is very difficult to exchange Turkish Lira and if you can you will not get the going international rate.
Travelers checks (taxitdiotiki epitayi) or foreign currencies can be exchanged at a bank (trapeza) or an exchange office.
The fees for exchanging money varies widely although the fee is lower for cash that for travelers checks.
Post offices (tahidromeio) will exchange cash but not travelers checks and will usually charge less commission than banks. If you exchange money at travel agents or at hotels the commission will normally be higher. |
