Hi
Would it be possible to have a sticky for the best places to get our money exchanged and the rate there giving, or is this to variable

Mustafa's shop is always mentioned when exchange rates are mentioned and he does always seem to offer the best rate.
I personally never use the official exchange places

The market next to The Majestic Boys and opposite old Harry's always seemed to give a good rate last year!

Facing the "S" hotel not on its doorstep.
Look down and right for the shop next to the building with the tiled roof so on opposite corner

Hi everyone we had a really bad experience last April with the exchange place on the corner under the webcam. What a horrible man 
, he has signs to say no commission, what he doesn't tell you is that is only for cash exchanges, if you change travellers cheques he hammers you for commission. We mentioned it to are Rep and she said he is well known for this and apologised for not warning us in advance. Suffice to say we will be avoiding him again this year. Always found good rates in the smaller supermarkets and jewellers.

You will prob find most placces will charge you commission, it;s to cover there admin fees involved with american express, or other travellers cheque issuers. Best to exchange cash.

We always take travellers cheques and change them in the small supermarkets and at the reception of where we stay.Always get avery good rate and have never been harged commission.To big a risk taking all cash.

Might try half and half this year. I was told by a friend that works in an exchange place over here that most places will charge commision. Must be wrong.

It just shows how we all can experience different things in bars restaurents or supermarkets.
I think the shopkeeper (supermarket) at the side of the chill bar and under the ICR offices is a first class guy,his prices are good and I think his exchange rate is one of the best in Icmeler and I myselfe have never experienced any problems changing money there, thats not to say that madmackem did not have problems, just that I have only exchanged sterling and not Travelers cheques in there.
The rate for the YTL has been steady at 245YTL to the £ for the last week
but this morning is trading at 251YTL to the £.
I just hope that when I am over there in 8 Days its trading at 5YTL to the £.
Greedy or what?

Me too found this to be a good place last year to change sterling and cheques and was never given anything less than the rate stated which was indeed a better rate than the change offices

Exchange rate was 2.42 in town today when I checked on my lunch break. Everyone seemed to have the same rate.
