Hi Dave

Last week when we were there , we were getting 2.35 lira to the £.

Polly

We got 2.42 yesterday in one of the supermarkets, tho 7 days previous it had only been 2.30

Post Office are giving 2.35ytl to the £ just now. Which i think is pretty much the same as over there?

I don't know wether to get mine over here or wait till I get to Icmeler.

We got back last Friday, and whilst we were there, thest place I found was a supermarket on the main road, at the very end, near Deniz Kapisi, just opposite the Otel Oylum.

Most other places were giving 2.3/2.32, they were giving 2.37, and even was as high as 2.42.

big drop today on m&s exchange rate only 2.2475,this dropped from 2.327 yesterday,thats a big drop in one day.hope it recovers before i have to buy a few in about 3 weeks time.
will wait until get over to icmeler to exchange daily requirement.

how annoying about 4 weeks ago m&s was giving 2.43 tyl
ah well thats why i have to work every day on not a financial wizz kid

Itasn;t to bad yeserday not great but best price was 2.35. Now the best price is 2.31 offered by Travelcare.

I just want to get 2.40 and tat will do me.

Steve

Thomas cook were selling at 2.33 earlier today.
Is it possible for people to tell us via the forum where can you get the best rate in Icmeler.
I went to corfu last year and I lost about 80euro due to the fact I was going to the wrong exchange place.

Will just be a case of doing abit of shopping around when I get there.

Steve

our highest rate we got was 2.40 in a supermarket just up the road from the holiday

I don't mind as lon as I get 2.40 sue.

hi all we arrived back midnight thurs. i take a nationwide card with me it do'snt cost to use it ie no charges and no commision. dont normally check what exchange rate i get but this time i did. used card 8 times, 7 around icmeler and 1 at pamukale. the rates around resort in shops etc were 2.32 upto 2.37 towards the end allthough we did see 2.40 at wonder boys last wednesday night. the lowest i got using the nationwide card was 2.43 at the begining of the hol and 2.45 towards the end. i only use this for holiday money, just take £50 or £100 in turkish and the rest in the card account, then use card in atm,it only takes about 10 days to set up an account and get a card and pin been using this for about 5 years ish now:lol:

My intelligent oh got the princely sum of 2.11 from Lunn Poly looks like she wont be having any cocktails

in the resort the best place to change and has been for a good few years is the supermarket under the icr office no one were close to him last year up to five lira to the pound
