I don't think there is one yet. Can someone who is in Arillas please take a photo of the empty space where the ATM used be :-(
Now, this next pic isn't as daft as it looks. Imagine the mobile ATM arriving in Arillas, like an Ice Cream van.

Terry, there isn't an empty space - the hole has been filled in and is now part of the travel office. You would never know it had been there.....
-
Now that's a bad sign! I know they have to make the wall secure for the travel office bu that does seem very permanent.
I am on the case Terry ... I will take a photo and try to upload it while I am there next week..this will be my task should I choose to accept it. Bit like mission impossible without my computer crib notes!!
I would love to ask the mobile ATM fellas for £50 and a 6d cornet please!
Cheers Nan xx

If you look under the Business Directory, Travel, Arkokal Travel, you will find a pic of the building before the ATM. This is how it looks now.
You can also Google Arkokal Travel, images and you will see pics of before the ATM and with the ATM to compare.

We could not decide exactly where it had been, as there is now no evidence of it ever having been there. We found the one in San Stef last week but as reported on here is often the case it was out of order. A big loss to Arillas.
-
can somebody please confirm if there is an atm in arilas, if not what are my options....thanks in advance xxx

There is currently no ATM in Arillas. Possibly one sometime during the summer to replace the one taken away a couple of months back, but.... San Stef has one, but its hit and miss as to whether its working or has cash in it. Other than that its Sidari.
-
thanks :)
-
there are plenty of places to change cash though, if you want to take english money with you, and there are safety deposit boxes to hire around the village

We were in Arillas for the last two weeks in May and changed our money at Manchester Airport - doh!
Take sterling, Kvarnell, and change it in resort - you'll get a far better rate

Yep.....You are right Janis, we got a whopping 1.20 minus the commision of course.
-
Flippin' 'eck, Riggers.....
I don't know whether you heard the story or not but we'd got 1.117 from Crown Currency in May and then Barry lost the currency (on the morning we were due to fly)
I ended up getting 1.035 or similar at Manchester airport.... It averaged 1.16 in Arillas
We won't make that mistake again!!

Thanks for all the great advice, is anyone going to Nikos' new bar on the hill? it looks fantastic, cant wait to be back, staying at Kaloudis again...
-
I've pre-ordered ours from Crown Currency for August and got 1.19 and free delivery

Not far to go, then, Kvarnell! Just up the donkey track and turn left! Enjoy your stay at KV!
-
Aaagh! I do wish I'd read this thread before we left. Just went to get some money from the ATM only to find it's not there any more!!!
That is NOT a good thing for Arillas is it?
How reliable is the ATM in San Stefanos then - I don't fancy trekking over there only to find it ain't working and we still have no cash!!
And if it's not working and ou haven't got a car or motor bke, what is the best way to get cash in the local area, assuming like us you didn't bring a sterling mountain or travellers cheques and only have cash cards?
-
John.....Neill to the rescue...he will be along shortly on his white charger to whisk you along to an ATM.

In the "bad old days" (2002) I used to get on the bus at 7am from opposite the Coconut and get off in Sidari. Cash took ten minutes, and I sat in the taverna by the bus stop for hours, waiting for the return bus. Whole day basically wasted. Have a word with Eggy. He may be en route past an ATM at some point. Am sure he will help you.

I think the ATM at San stef is ok. It's holiday season, so they should have it topped up. The next nearest is at Avliotes, next to the pharmacy. It may be more reliable, as it's off the tourist route a bit.
I'm not sure how best you would reach these places if you don't have transport tho.
It's well known how I feel about the ATM having been removed from Arillas, and last week, when we went to Sidari for cash, found all 5 machines empty! We had to go to Acharavi, so weren'r too happy.
It is NOT a good thing that Arillas now has no ATM!!!!
-
We were in San Stefanos for the last 2 weeks and the machine was working throughout our stay!
-
Eggy did indeed come to our rescue like the 7th cavalry. Thanks Eileen and Neill for being so lovely as always!
The trouble is I now have to be nice to/about Eggy on this forum :-)
The cash machine in San Stefanos was working fine today if anyone needs to know
-
When we got stuck for cash, and were walking to San Stefanos, Kevin g was our knight in shining armour, and gave me a lift on the back of his scooter. Then he had to return for Colin. The cash machine had enough money for me, but another couple used it straight after me, so by the time Colin arrived it was empty! Ah, happy memories.....

Typical. You got your money and Colin got none. There's a poem in there....
So typical of our kevin.g. What a wonderful family they are. They give, and very rarely take. Jen and me do our best to follow those values, and that is why we connect so well. BTW kev, I haven't forgotten - it's my round!! Let's hope its soon. YAMMAS!
