last time i went to rhodes i tried to use my meastro card to withdraw cash and it didn't work.
Probably better off with a visa or mastercard but foreign charges can be astronomical.

stokie68, Yeh its ok to use cards in most of the restaurants in Pefkos but a ball-ache to try and get money out of a cashpoint... The one next to Nostalgia is near on "Always" empty! - theres another one down by Pefkos by Night but thats also always empty (think they only fill'em up twice a week or summat) Like I said, youll be alright using them to pay for food and stuff but you will get charged a - the exchange rate that the banks charge and b - a fee for using your card (unless you are with a bank that doesnt charge aka Nationwide) If you pop into The Rock Garden say "Hello" to Sam and Gianni's (and Yioda) from the chap from Stoke (also tell'em I aint seen them on msn for a while  Lovely place, with lovely people and Pekos Lamb from Enigma and Beef Nostalgia from Nostalgia are wonderful dishes  |

Open an account with Nationwide. They dont charge you for using your card abroad this is very true i wish i was with them to be honest as i have had ballaches with virtually every bank and they're ridiculas charges. but being honest i have found the best thing to do is to take the £££ in cash you get far better rates, and no matter how big or small never exchange ££ for they're money in the uk you get hammered!! |
