the Euro is equal to the Pound at the moment. 1 Euro for every Pound you take!

Limassol shops are offering €1.20 for sterling. eg you give them £10, they allow you €12.00.

Really ~~ :shock: :? ~ I noticed that they are offering 1.24 euro's to the GB pound at the kiosks yesterday and that's with no commission to pay :D .

Although I can probably see the pound worth 1 euro one day it hasn't got that desperate yet :shock:

Using my Nationwide card at a ATM I got 1.26 euro's to the pound last Friday with absolutely no charges / commission made by either bank.

So you are really way off the mark and frightening people unnecessarily .

Try this..Bill. it changes all the time. earlier today it said 1 Euro for 1 Pound, now it says 1.27 Euro to the Pound.
so before accusing me of 'scaring people unnecessarily' check this website regulary.

First of all siobhan xe.com doesn't give you the tourist rate which I understand is what houlkz wanted to know.

Second ~ the pound to euro rate has not yet gone so far down to be on parity ~ so unless you looked at the wrong rates or xe.com had a blip and it was a mistake, that wasn't the correct rate.

I'll repeat it was 1.24 Euro to a GB pound yesterday at the local exchange kiosks which is a fair bit better than achievable in the UK and that's what houlkz was asking for.

The pound has fallen so badly against the Euro it's going to be very expensive to holiday anywhere in the Euro zone now.

Mrs bill c. got a commision free €1.21 at the travel agents in the local High Street in London, GB this morning.

As my namesake bill (hi namesake bill) suggests above, I would expect to get much better at the shops in the tourist areas in CY in a few days time when we change the bulk of our sterling. I suspect 1.23-1.24.

Yep an expensive little holiday.
