Most banks operate between
9:00 and 17:00, and during these hours you will have full access to all
bank services. Turkish banks remain open during lunch hours, but you may
find yourself waiting a long time for service if you choose to do your
banking at this busy time of day.
Money & travellers chequesIt
is recommended that you take a mix of Sterling cash, traveller’s
cheques and a small amount of Turkish Lira, (the exchange rate is better
in Turkey). If you are taking travellers cheques remember to make a
list of serial numbers and keep this separate from the travellers
cheques together with contact telephone numbers for the provider of the
cheques. I Scottish notes are not accepted in Turkey.
What to takeTravel
light is the most sensible advice. Good swim wear, effective sun tan
lotion, comfortable shoes, sunglasses, a light jacket or sweater and a
pair of light trousers for the evening and a sun hat. If you are
travelling as a couple or a family don’t pack one bag for each family
member, mix the clothes up. In the unlikely event that a bag is lost by
the airline you won’t be completely without clothes for one member of
the family. Don’t forget to pack (in hand luggage) such things as
essential medicines, spare spectacles or contact lenses and fluid, and
if you are planning to hire a car your driving license.
Health requirementsIf
you take prescribed medicine make sure that you take enough for your
stay in Turkey; if possible take a copy of the prescription and carry
some or all with you in your hand luggage. Make up a small travellers
first aid kit containing small quantities of proprietary upset stomach
remedies, travel sickness pills, aspirin or similar, plasters, a
dressing, antiseptic cream, insect repellent and burn cream.
