On the safe issue, I stay at the Babadan apartments, the receptionist has to use their key before yours will work quite safe it would appear

Hi all
Reading some of these posts has really opened my eyes regarding your holiday money etc. We have always only took sterling as I was under the impression that you got a better exchange rate. This might sound like a real ridiculous question but if I were to take Travellers Cheques do you still get the same rate ?

Really would appreciate some good advise as we only have 10 more sleeps to go !
Thanks in advance...

I've just returned and was amazed at the amount of cash - lira and sterling that people take with them. People were keeping all this cash on them too - we wouldn't do this at home so why on holiday? Opening a wallet or purse in public that is stashed with cash may draw attention that we don't want.
I took £50 worth of lira, travellers cheques, a few £10 notes and my cashpoint card. I got the same exchange rate for traveller's cheques and sterling. Shops, bars and restaurants are exchanging sterling and traveller's cheques - even if you don't buy in them. Rate last week was 2.52 to £1 - no commission either.
As another poster said - theft happens everywhere - I would say look after your valuables and be sensible. There's no reason to carry so much cash around. Even if you have a few more beers than you expected or that wonderful meal - if you're a "regular" they'll let you pay the next day.
