Hi,

we wer getting 2.16 but it went down to 2.10 yesterday. We found the local supermarkets gave you the best rate.

its steadly rising today ,it was 2.15 this morning ,its now 2.19 and still rising ,keep fingers crossed it keeps going up .

With you Eddie, fly out the 12th, could do with it rising alot more but not much chance of it getting to 2.50 which i got last year. 2.25/2.30 would be nice :)

now that would be nice if it kept going up only 4 more sleeps could be up to 2.30 by the time i get there!!!


Do you know what it is today eddie

This is whats putting me off for next year the exchange rate. It was our first time this August to icmeler and we was getting 2.15, I got 2.31 at post office before we went but I only bought a bit, I changed the rest as travs at the supermarkets. But this is money so with the way it is at the moment with the pound it's always going to be a gamble. If I can get say 2.28 or above in February I'll gamble and get it back here at home.

the exchange rate is up to 2.26 and still rising . :lol:

Got my lira from m&s today and the rate there is 2.151. Could not leave it any longer as we are off on fri . Cant wait

Just back from Icmeler. I used the currency exchange shop in the square once to change some travellers cheques. He gave a very poor rate of below 2.00 mainly due to commission. I then used a local shop near to the Avlu 4 Apartment and he gave me 2.1 with no charges.
