We went to benidorm 3 years ago & fell victim to a very poor exchange rate. 118 euros to a pound! the best thing about it was i was aware of this as it was screened on itv that very week! (very small smallprint)

Just wondering if ayia nappa ia simular, & more importantly where is the best exchange rate in nappa?

I can also recommend "The Hut" we used it last year in Ayia napa and found they had the best rates. we will be using it again this year when we go back

A third vote for the hut by the cemetary I am afraid.

They gave me a tad over 0.83 Easter week. The airport on the way out were offering 0.76 :shock:

Thanks again!

We are staying at Anesis hotel, is this complex near the cemetery?

Have a look at this map - Anesis is no. 20 in grid ref. F5. The cemetary is marked in grid ref. E5.

Heatwave - you lucky thing, we stayed there last year, its great. If you cross over the road outside the hotel and walk along the pathway (either side of it looks like wasteland) turn left at the end and first right you are on Nissi avenue, takes less than 5 mins to get there, cant remember how far up MacDonalds was though, sorry.

Just DONT get it from Thomas Cook before you go. I got a miserable 0.73 when I changed £100 before going but got a rate of 0.82 on my Nationwide (no commission
