Where is the best place where one can buy euros using sterling notes and get a good rate... in the Peyia or Paphos district....do any of the kiosks accept foreign currency for exchange to euros or vice versa....

Believe it or not even though it's right in the middle of the tourist area and Paphos harbour, the kiosks down near the front are pretty good at the moment and there is also a small market near McDonalds, I think it's called Bazaar on the Tombs of the Kings Road which always offers a good rate if you go inside. Avoid banks!

Just found the shop in the bizarre (u-shaoed set of shops) in the harbour area and they were offering €1.2485 to the pound today.... my FX supplier (western Union) is offering approx 1.267 with no fee...and those new guys (currency solutions) were offering 1.2586.....with a £10 fee.
