You will not need euros. That would mean 2 lots of exchange charges.
Better exchange rate in Turkey than in the UK.

Get about £50 worth of TL before coming out to see you through the first couple of days and then exchange sterling for TL out here, or use an ATM to draw TL out.

You get a better rate by drawing from the ATMs in Turkey from my experience. There is a charge for card use generally in atms although if you have a Nationwide card withdrawals are free. I use as and when I need money, saves carrying around large amounts of cash.

Nationwide don't charge for withdrawals in Turkey. They treat it as being in Europe.
