Holiday Footprints has the currency of the rates show as Sterling and euros for various villas. Both the English and foreign guests gets the option to pay in either currency so despite a villa being advertised in Euros they may well pay in Sterling and vice versa . Even if your offer is in Euros sometimes we cannot be sure which one they will pay us in and therefore we need flexibility to pay for your booking either via the UK Internet banking system or direct to a Cyprus Bank account with either a Cypriot cheque or an English cheque. The CURRENCY DIRECT currency converter on the website is right up to date so the amounts can be checked on line that we are transferring to you.
