   Hi there

   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.

   Thanks

   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.

   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.

   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.

   Exchange offices are called "Doviz Burosu".
   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.

   No need to change money before going to Turkey. There are many ATMs, banks and bureaux de change also at the Istanbul airport. The exchange rates are best in town
