Banks and exchange points are the best places to exchange currency. Banks are open from 8.30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday to Friday, and until 1 p.m. Saturday during the winter months. Currency exchanges have much longer opening hours, but these can vary. Most banks have 24 hour cash points that accept the majority of major credit and charge cards. Post boxes are yellow and situated sometimes rather haphazardly, stamps can be purchased from tobacconists, as well as the post office.
Telephones are plentiful.
