    Many shops out there will exchange money for you. They all have signs outside and we used to walk up the street and see who had the best rate! As well as supermarkets, we also got money from a jewellry store and a tattoo parlour!

    We also used ATM's out there as well.
    Here I go again on my own....

    changed in the bank when we were there using sterling we had taken over - think it would be useful to have a few lira before you go and then change over there
