Turkey Antalya

Hi there,
A couple of us are going to Turkey next thursday (arrive 1pm) and through to Monday Morning.
However as i only have a basic bank account with HSBC, i am pretty sure my basic card won't work on the machines there.
I am not sure what the best way to change my money over would be:-
1) Changer Sterling to Liras in Uk
2) Change STerling to Lira in Turkey
3) Take some sterling and some liras from uk
Also i know this is stupid..but how much do u think u need for a 3day trip for lunches and dinners and a few drinks.
I am not sure how much these things cost in Turkey, so wasn't sure how much i need to budget for meals and that.

    Taking sterling and changing in Turkey will be the best option. Don't forget a £10 note for a visa as well.

    Cost wise, you'll be looking at similar prices to the UK.
