Any one just back and know what exchange rate you were getting over there?

Also anyone used their nationwide account card? What exchange rates were you getting?

I was there the first two weeks in June. At shops, bars, hotels I was getting 2.30 but one day I got 2.35, that was the maximum. When the money ran out, I used my Nationwide card 5 times, the rate I was getting was 2.44. 2.42. 2.42. 2.44. 2.45, so a much better rate.

When I go back in October I am not taking any cash, except a few tenners for shopping, but I will just use my card.

i opened a nationwide account yetserday online, but as we go in 3 and a bit weeks, it might not be enough time to sign paperwork and send it back etc..

we usually just take cash with us...

I don;t have nationwide card.

The best deals I found were the usual supermarket below ICR and next to chill. Also the Supermarket over the Road from De Ja Vue, the one with the Orange front.

Not long been back home and we used a nationwide flex account card in Icmeler and Marmaris. Rates varied between 2.45 and 2.39 and no charges
