CURRENCY IN SARIGERME

Do not exchange your money in the UK or at the Airport. Because you can get alot better exchange rate in Turkey. Well, on most travel agents and the post office in the UK they will tell you they have the best exchange rates etc., do not fall in this.

You can actually shop with your own currency without any problem and if you in need of exchanging you will get better rate in the Village.

There are number of Jewellery shops and Travel agencies in Sarigerme where you can exchange your Foreign Currency into Turkish Lira with good exchange rate without any problem.

On the 16'th of May 2012, 1 sterling is 2,87 Turkish Lira, by the time I update this page it will be higher.

Try to not bring fifty sterling banknotes with you as you may find it difficult to exchange as shops look at these banknotes suspicious.

You can use Euro -English Pounds -Dollar without any problem.

Scottish Bank notes are not well known, therefore you will exprience proplems with this currency.With Coins is a bit difficult to exchange them into Turkish Lira but during shopping within the Village of Sarigerme like in many touristic areas you can use your Coins £1 and £2 only.They may be accepted in a lower exchange rate.

Dolar and Russian Tourists

Russians are well known with their 100 Dolar Banknotes , even if they wish to spend only a dolar or so they draw a 100 Dolar banknotes from their pockets and expect the change in Dolar too ,this puts people off doing business with russian clients.Please bring some smaller banknotes with you which this will make your life easier as well as the shopkeepers.

CASH MACHINE, ATM

There are 3 Cash Machines in Sarigerme ,these ATM's belong to Akbank, Garanti Bank, Deniz Bank

Cash Machines in Sarigerme are located at the entrance of the Village,next to the Taxi stand

If they are temporarly out of order, it is not the end of the World, you can go to Towns of Dalaman or Ortaca, be aware that your bank may charge you for each transaction %2,75 .

Sofar as I know, Nationwide is the only Bank who does not charge for cash transactions abroad, i might be wrong, check this with your Bank.

I have been informed by a visitor that Post Office does provides post office credit card which does not charge any interest on shopping in abroad, please check this with the post office in the uk.

If you do need cash to be send from abroad to you, consider western Union, as the post office in sarigerme does have the service.
