lira, pounds or use ATMs
« on: July 15, 2012, 01:30:48 PM »
New to the site.
Going to Kalkan for 1st time in 13 days and never been to Turkey before.
Is it best to take lira, change uk money over there or use the ATMs.
Feedback appreciated

Hi Leeh
Firstly welcome to the forum and also to kalkan u will not be disappointed for yr 1st time in Turkey u have chosen the best place to visit, personally I would take GBP and change there as u seem to get the best rate if u use the ATMs u will get charged more by yr bank altho it is not much depends how many times u use them and depending on how much yr bank charges - have a great holiday and be prepared to catch the kalkan bug.

Definitely stirling gives the best exchange rate but also need to consider how to secure all the cash.  There has been a spate of robberies recently so take that into consideration too.  I know you will love Kalkan. Have fun.  ;D ;D ;D

Hello Leeh,
I use a bank debit card with no charges (there are still some around) at ATM and also receive a business exchange rate.

Best to take sterling cash and change it.
