Which currency is issued from ATMs in Turkey?

Treacle_Toes

I'm off to Turkey in 7 weeks and I'm starting to get prepared.

I've been to this area before (Belek) and we have always been able to pay for everything in Euros.

However, I'm thinking about taking a prepayment card instead of cash this time, but I'm wondering if this would be a problem as officially the currency is Turkish Lira.

I've never had to use to ATMs there before so I'm not sure whether we'd be able to able to withdraw our Euros from them.

Thanks for any help!

Some elaborate cash machines issue Turkish liras, euros or US dollars, as you wish, but I wonder about the service fees...

ATMs

ATMs dispense new Turkish lira to Visa, MasterCard, Cirrus and Maestro card holders.....

Paying in Euros is great, because you get the privilege of paying twice for currency conversion with each transaction, GBP>EUR>TRY.
