exchange rates

Hi everyone

could anyone advise me on exchanging sterling to euros before we go to cyprus or do you get a better rate over there. We go on 30th May so was just wondering the best way to do it.

Many Thanks

Take plenty of Euros with you, but I would wait till nearer when you go, as the rate seems to be creeping up slowly, but get them here, as no doubt you will get ripped off over there as with everything else. I won%26#39;t be going again too expensive.

As a fellow Geordie thegasmannewcastle us Geordie must all think the same when you are on hol what the hell mind i dont like gettin ripped off but throw caution to the wind sometime.

We went to Cyprus for the first time last year when they had just went over to euro and people were saying it had went expensive but i could not comment as we had not been before just look about they are all competing with each other so the prices were not that bad.We were in Gran Canaria in Feb and the exchange rate was bad.
