I understand it depends on what debit/credit card you are using. I have a Halifax Clarity Credit Card and with it I get a better rate withdrawing lira and I don't pay any transaction or conversion charges. It is advisable to notify your bank of your intention to use your card abroad and also clarify their charges. I always ensure I have a 2nd card as a back up as I have known people that had problems with the machines not being able to read the chip and pin but I have never had any problems.

Hi, just come back 2 weeks ago and for the 1st time ever we took Sterling to change whilst there and what a good decision! ... Better rate, no Bank charges and will be doing it again when we return for 'Round 2' in September :wink:

Obviously, it's personal choice but we didn't have any security issues at all in the Le'toile and had a Safe that was Safe! Lol :lol:

Hi Lee101,

It all depends on who you bank with.

The past few years I have withdrawn Sterling from the ATM as my bank advised that I would be charge twice, one for withdrawing money and another charge if I was with drawing Lisa due to conversion charges.

I have had no problem whatsoever using the ATMs, I counted about 9 ATM,s just along from the Love Boat next to the canal.
But note: not all of them give out Sterling, the one I use is the HSBC.

The small supermarket next to Tandoori Sizzler gave better rates converting your £,s to Lira.

I hope you enjoy your time in Icmeler.

Regards

NIKNAR

Forgot to add that we've used the same Supermarket for our last 2 visits, gives a better rate than the 'Change Office' over the road :wink:

We'll be using him again in 59 days when we're back for another 10 days, following our 2 weeks already we've had late June! ... Greedy I know! :lol:
