Currency Exchange

Hi all

I'm going to Turkey in 2 weeks time (yeah I know) & wondered whether it best to buy currency (Turkish Lira) in the uk before travelling or would I get the best rate in the country I am travelling to?

Any advice greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

    When I last went it worked out better to exchange it our there. This was 3 years ago mind, so things might have changed. Over here I find these guys do a good rate. www.thomasexchangeglobal.co.uk

    coventgardenfx are pretty decent for exchange rates and delivery

    Apparently the best rates are offered by specialist fx credit cards to be used abroad

    With Turkey its always better to take a small amount to get you started then exchange your money locally as your get a much better exchange rate. Lots of places exchange money as well as the banks. I was in Gumbet last year and even the restaurants exchanged at a better rate than the exchange offices

    If you go in there and ask for the web price they will honour that. As will Ace.

    I've ordered a few Lira's online & will buy the rest out there or use £'s

    Believe it or not, the best rate was from 1 of the airport currency exchange places. Turns out if you pre order from them online & pick it up at the airport, you get a very good rate. I always thought the airport currency exchange places just ripped you off!!

    Thanks everyone!

    Where is the cheapest place to by Chinese furniture - China.

    Where is cheapest place to buy Persian rug - Persia (one for the oldies there)

    Ergo, Where is the cheapest place to by Turkish Lira ????
