Hi
Off to Turkey next week, and have been told that the Euro is widely accepted
Can anyone confirm, whether or not it would be sensible to take Turkish lira as well or whether the euro will be fine
Also, any other general advice, such as adaptors for electricals, etc etc. We are staying in Atalaya
Thanks
Lis

We're going in a few weeks and we're taking Lira. I'm not sure how widely accepted Euro's are, but I'd rather pay in their local currency.
I've also heard that market traders love English £10 notes, so we're taking a stash of those. If you barter and then show them a £10 note, they often throw in extra stuff
Here I go again on my own....0 -
yes when we went last year we took 200 in turkish lira some ten pound notes for the markets and then used nationwide card to withdraw money when we ran out. turkey isnt as cheap as it used to be, we spent 2000 for the fortnight for 3 of us as we were sc0
