re: Currency to take

Hi all,
Many thanks for all the advice. I will take the advice of Steve C and Kas but will have my cards on me in case of an emergency. I assume Alpha is the name of the bank company? What are the bank opening times and are they within a reasonable distance from the Strazhite Hotel in Bansko? Many thanks Phil

re: Currency to take

Yep - Alpha is the name of the bak, but Steve C and Nightmuffy will know where it is in Bansko as we have no idea!!

Have a great hols!

re: Currency to take

Yep to back up what Steve c is saying,bring sterling cash,the rates at Alpha Bank as of today are 2.29 levs to the £1.00...you will not get that at Tescos!!!

scroll down the homepage of Alpha rates are on the left hand side

What we do with our clients who take our ski hire is run them down to Alpha in our jeep to exchange cash

email me if anyone is interested
