ATM in Arillas Thanks to you, WE MADE IT

[dimitris]

After a lot of efforts from several people in Arillas we have managed to get an ever wanted ATM.
Today the service people from EUROBANK came and installed the main parts of the machine at ARKOKAL TRAVEL where it will be situated in Arillas.
A big thank you to all the people who have been requesting it to all of us  over the past years, and those who voted at arillas.com surveys about what Arillas needs more
It was very difficult for the banks to afford to have one in Arillas as the amount of people visiting the area
was never enough (for the bank).
In one of my last years meetings with the Bank manager Mr Nikolouzos, I had tried to persuade him to do it for us, explaining to him how vital this for the area is and that Arillas, being in the middle of the beaches of Agios Stefanos and Agios georgios within walking distance, is the ideal Location for an ATM.
I had also said that even if this was not enough we were going to sponsor the fee for it's property rental.
After Mr NIkolouzos had seen the syrvey on our website he was able to start thinking positive and he finaly sent us the banks System engineers to investigate the areas.
So today I can say that YES in Arillas we have an ATM and it is situated right in the centre at Arkokal travel near Armourada Restaurant and Brouklis Taverna!

This information is SOoooooo useful to us, thanks so much!!!  I was worried about what to do, you know, should we take travellers cheques, should we take sterling, should we take euros.....I keep checking what everyone else is doing on the site and there's been loads of really good advice, but I really wanted to be able to take our Nationwide card with us and just get cash out when we wanted to (as we usually do on holiday.......and its commission free too) and now we can!!
