If you are from the UK then the exchange rate is currently shite... End of.

Depends where the wedding is, which venue?

Also regarding bars, restaurants and nightlife .... what are you looking for?

I can tell you where to go .... SAGA holidays or 18-30s.

Wedding is in the Elysium. Regarding restaurants obviously ones which serve good food and you dont get ripped off. pubs with a good atmosphere and a wee bit lively us scotsmen like a pint or two. Are you better exchanging your cash once you get there, I always found you get a better rate abroad.

Tombs of The Kings road is not far away where you can drink much more cheaply and good atmosphere. Cash gets a good rate in the local kiosks, rather than the banks who will charge you commission and thus gives you a crap rate of exchange.

Beware!!! When they take your money off of you and put it in the counting machine it also checks for counterfeit notes, so when they give you your Euros ask for that also to be put through the same machine. Two of my friends, on separate occasions were given forged notes in return. One only got one 50 Euro note in his change and so his exchange rate turned out to be pretty poor, the other got nearly 900 in forged notes and spent 4 days in the slammer with his wife. After a lengthy and expensive court case they were proved not guilty and the kiosk owner now 'carries the can'. They will not return to Cyprus after this event.

Yeah, yeah! Any credible link to justify this claim, or was it the case of the wedding guests that were all wandering around with forged Euros?

They actually have a property up for sale because of this event. The kiosk owner is awaiting his prison sentence.

But you obviously know better.

Do not try to hide the type of things that go on upon this island to the incoming tourist trade. This is one of the reasons why people who returned here year after year no longer come. They no longer want to be ripped off.

It sounds like you are the head of The CTO ... not much of an idea about business.

You obviously chose the best destination in Europe.

Now, don't spoil it by talking "money"

Surely, it's a once in a lifetime event?
