Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

this queation may have cropped up a few times but with the euro being so low is is worth while going for euros that sterling as a grudge paying commision on sterling cheques here and in turkey can anyone help with my demlemlia
thanks dusty x x

I have always in the past used sterling travellers cheques and have not been charged commision in the supermarkets. Since last year I have got a nationwide flexi account which gives a better rate than in the resort

I wouldn't touch Euros personally.

As Sue says most of the supermarkets and small shops over there won't charge you for changing travellers cheques.

I always just take English Money with me i know it's a bit risky but it's the chance i take.

Wouldn't take Euros because of the rate just now. You won't pay commission if you order through Travelex, plus free delivery to your home address if you spend over £500.

Definitely sterling cheques - you'll get a better exchange rate.

If you can't get them commission free through your bank, the Post Office only charge 1% (unless that's recently changed of course).

You will not pay commission when cashing cheques in resort if you use a supermarket to change - try the one under the ICR office in the centre. I always use him and you'll get the same amount as you would if you were changing English cash.
