facilities, but there is one ATM available in the terminal

and sweets. The airport restaurant (part of the airport hotel) has
an outdoor terrace where patrons have a view of the runway. There

credit cards and travellers cheques are widely accepted. To avoid
additional charges take travellers cheques in Euros, Pounds
Sterling or US Dollars. Foreign currency or travellers cheques can
be changed at banks, post offices or bureaux de change (usually
indicated by the letters GWK). Banks are closed on weekends but
bureaux de change are open. ATMs are widely distributed and most
are open 24 hours a day.
