BANKS & ATMSOn Thassos you will find branches of some of the biggest Greek banks. Mind that all bank branches are open for the public from 8am to 14.30pm on all weekdays except for Friday and on Friday from 8am to 14pm.
ATMs can be found outside all bank branches and in some villages too.
MONEY EXCHANGEBanks exchange all major currencies, traveler’s cheques or Eurocheques. Post offices exchange cash, but not traveler’s cheques, and usually charge lower commissions than banks. Travel agencies and larger hotels exchange cash and traveler’s cheques but usually charge a higher commission. Credit cards are accepted in shops and restaurants, however, in local cafes, especially in villages you will probably have to pay in cash.
POST OFFICEThe Greek post office is called ELTA. Post Boxes in Greece are YELLOW for normal post, usually with 2 slots for INTERNAL POST (meaning inside Greece) and post for ABROAD. RED Post Boxes are rarer and they are used for URGENT mail. REGISTERED mail is always handled and given a receipt for at the POST OFFICE.
Post Offices operate between 8am and 14pm and can be found at the main towns and villages of the island.
