How it works
In Rhodes Old Town, vendors in souvenir shops along Socratous Street and informal exchange kiosks near the Palace of the Grand Master are known to return incorrect change, particularly when handing back euros after a small cash purchase. The shortchange is subtle — often just a coin or two — and the enclosed medieval lanes mean many visitors do not stop to recount until they have walked away. Some exchange booths also quote a competitive rate but apply a flat "service fee" that is only disclosed after the transaction.
