If you have a Nationwide Flexaccount take your cash out the ATM in Rhodes. You will get the visa rate, not the tourist rate, gaining 3-6 cents for every £. There are no charges with this card either.

If you have any other visa or mastercard debit card you will incur charges, check with your bank as some are ok, but others are high. You can still be better off even if you pay charges as you are getting the better rate, but take out larger amounts, not lots of small withdrawals as most of them have a minimum charge.

If you can only use cash exchange it will be a guessing game as the rate can change daily. If you want to be sure of your budget change it at the best rate you can before you go & split it into daily spending allowance, leaving an amount as emergency, day trip, or shopping money.

The cash exchange rate can range between 1.18-1.23. The rate using the ATM at the moment is 1.25-1.27.

If you have time before you go, open a Nationwide account.

No you definitely wont get a better rate in Rhodes.   Get your Euros in the UK.   Marks and Spencer give a good rate.
