Hi

If you take sterling travellers cheques or cash you will get a better exchange rate than euros

Take £notes better still get a Nationwide account and get cash from ATM's with no charges

Hi folks
Thanks for the advice.Have told travel agents we wont bother.Will just take some turkish lira and take the rest cash I think. Getting excited now!!

Thanks again, Linda

If you take Euro travellers cheques you will only get the Euro exchange rate, which is about 1.80 lira to the Euro. So you are far better off getting Sterling travellers cheques thats way you are going to get around about 2.40 Lira to the £. I found this a few years back that for some reason travel agents don't like issueing sterling travellers cheques.

Wether you take Euro or Sterling it still works out the same amount just think is it worth it if not sure go on a website called XE it converts whatever you want.
