Winter months are less touristic and you can get really cheap deals on accommodation. You can find deals like 10 Euro for a bed and breakfast if you bargain at the location or on the phone. </p> http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/what-kind-of-money-is-the-best-money#post-387 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 08:41:29 +0000 kemal 387@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ <p>Credit or ATM cards are the best solution to travel in Turkey. ATM and banks are everywhere, especially in the touristic areas. You can also use your cards for shopping too.</p> <p>You do not need to exchange any money before you go to Turkey. There are plenty of ATMs, banks and also exchange offices at the airport in Istanbul. Exchange rates are better in the city.</p> <p>Exchange offices are called "Doviz Burosu".<br /> Usually they charge 0.2%-0.3% commission rate. Be careful it is not 2 percent, it is .2 percent.If you change 100 dollars, they will charge you 20 cents not 2 dollars. So their charge is almost nothing. But as a tourist trap, some of them do this trick. </p> http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/do-i-have-enough-money#post-96 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:59:56 +0000 claire 96@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ Ok, I've got my year off work, have my route planned (hostel stylee, not camping), pretty much have my ticket sorted, but what the heck am I gonna live out of?!! <br /> <br />Any advice is gratefully accepted! - I'm thinking front-loading with a detachable day sack, am I mistaken?! and how much should I aim to spend - after all I'll be living out of it for a year <br /> <br />thank you muchly http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/money-advise#post-345 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 08:11:42 +0000 kemal 345@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ using credit card can be tricky too.<br />you will be charged in turkish lira and then your bank will charge the worst currency rate to your card. <br />the best way is changing your currency to turkish lira. there are always commissions when you are changing currency but it is usually very low. %0.01 or %0.03. <br /><span style="font-weight: bold">be carefull it is not %1 or %3.</span><br />some exchange offices do this trick to scam tourists. http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/money-advise#post-343 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:25:26 +0000 bieslook 343@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ You can exchange your money into Lira without commission in beyo?lu or sultanahmet. in airport dont exchange all your money because most of the time they charge commissions.. http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/money-advise#post-90 Sat, 14 Apr 2007 18:28:47 +0000 simon 90@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ I agree with skip, in Turkey traveler's checks are useless. <br /> <br />My experience in Turkey with them was not good. most of the merchants <br />prefered money, even US dollars. <br /> <br />Do not get me wrong, you can use them, it just a little trouble. http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/money-advise#post-89 Sat, 14 Apr 2007 01:29:27 +0000 skip 89@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ use you credit cards.

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice about what to do about money (e.g. taking travellers cheques, credit cards etc.) Any advice would be great. <br /> <br />Cheers http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/what-kind-of-money-is-the-best-money#post-16 Thu, 24 Aug 2006 12:11:57 +0000 tony 16@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ I understand your problem. My suggestion is travel with your visa or master card. Or even better your American express card. When in Turkey Travelers checks are just a head ache. But have fun. http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/what-kind-of-money-is-the-best-money#post-15 Thu, 24 Aug 2006 12:07:14 +0000 maxwell 15@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ <p>Hi there</p> <p>I was wondering if I could get some advice on carrying money when travelling. I will be traveling from New York to Istanbul. I have heard that travellers cheques are a waste of time as few places can cash them and when they can they charge over-the-top commisions. Therefore I was wondering if carrying a master debit card for use at ATMs would work best or if a pre-loaded credit card is better? Suggestions will be appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks </p>
