Re: Lira

It's most probably been put on here before, but this site is handy for checking the exchange rate, XE - The World's Favorite Currency and Foreign Exchange Site put it in your favourites and you can check every day

looks like two parallel treads got combined

2.29 was HSBC Kusadasi online this morning so looks like is dropping if it was 2.36 yesterday in Bodrum

will check again on Monday

2.3 from the jewellers round the Didim area.

Raysalaff is right. XE gives the actual exchange rate. Not the "special" rate that banks and jeweler shops in Didim give. Get a Nationwide Flexi account and simply withdraw cash in Turkey when you are on holiday or when the rate is good (they do not charge commission).

I,ve been watching it daily for the past 4 weeks, ready to pounce, but it has been fluctuating round 3.3 n 3.4 , not really moving much, at the close on friday it was 3.37, prob as good as it gets.

Cheers Peter
