Hi what's the best way to take your money with you ... Prepaid Card or Travelers Cheques etc???

Many thanks in advance

We always take English money with us and change it while we are there, it is always a better rate to exchange in Turkey rather than at home

Cash is always king.

Hi,
We tend to take £100 in Lira, to start, then the balance in a mix of Sterling and Sterling Travelers Cheques. The cheques are insured against theft and my bank does not charge for them, also as a back up, we take a Nationwide Flexicard, to withdraw STERLING. Most banks charge withdrawal and conversion fees, but by withdrawing Sterling the Charge is £1 per withdrawal, up to £500, if you have enough in your account. When you change your Sterling DO NOT use exchange offices, use Bars / Supermarkets. Most people will post the Best places to exchange during the season..

Many thanks all

I found what appears to be a great idea it's an all currency card that exchanges to local currency with great exchange rates if anybody is interested take a look here ...https://revolut.com

Looks good
