Exchange Rates Better At Kapalicarsi And Near Tourist Areas!
Like the other poster said the exchange rates are better at Kapalicarsi and near tourist areas like Taxim! If you happen to be in any other area, the exchange rate will be below bank exchange rate!
It is almost 1 lira more expensive then the going rate to buy foreign curerency so any girl or company will be happy to take your dollars or euros. But make sure the applied going rate, some businesses may have very lower exchange rates. So this may not be your best option.
For banks look for TEB or QNB Finansbank for ATM to withdraw your currency. Never ever take TL from the atms, they will rob you silly.
[QUOTE=WowNow;2861148]Yes, I have used the local exchanges like those in other places and I was wondering about them. It is good to know that their exchange rates are even better than the banks. Thanks DrainMaker for the detailed reply.[/QUOTE]
