The most convenient way
to get money in Turkey is by using
your home bank ATM/cash card or
a credit
card in a Turkish
ATM/bancomat/cash machine.
But
if you want to exchange cash,
plenty of places will do it for you. Here
are the exchange rates.
Here
are the Turkish names for various
currencies.
Currency Exchange Offices (Döviz
Bürosu) are
found in market areas. They offer
better exchange
rates than most banks, and may
or may not charge a commission (komisyon).
Shop around for the best rate and
the lowest (or no) commission.
Post Office (PTT): Most
post offices will exchange cash US
dollars or euros, and the bigger post
offices may also exchange other major
currencies such as UK sterling.
Bank (Banka): these
have the worst rates, the biggest commissions
and the most cumbersome procedures,
but a few specialized branches may
be willing to exchange currencies lesser
known than the US dollar, euro, sterling,
and yen.
