going to cyprus for xmas have not been abroad for over 7 years, can anyone tell me the best place to go for currency exchange, any other helpfull hints gratefully recieved

depends on where you are going and staying in cyprus,we have a house in paphos,and have been at xmas a few times,but its very quiet that time of year.you will get a much better exchange rate for your pound over there in their banks.

Remember that Cyprus is changing to the � on 1 January, so it might be better to change back any excess before you come home/

Excellent advice from dzug. Only take a few Cyprus pounds so that you'll have a bit of ready cash when you first arrive, then use an ATM (Cyprus seems to have more banks per head of the poulation than anywhere else I know!) and you'll get a much better rate than anywhere else. Better still, try to pay with plastic wherever you can and you'll get an even better rate; not always easy to do in Cyprus, though, as much business there is still strictly cash-based.

Norman, we might have passed in the streets of Paphos and never known it - we have a house up in the Troodos, in Koilani, but we have a lot of friends in and around Paphos as we used to rent in Peyia. Off to Cyprus next weekend, in fact.....
