I got 2.58 at the end of May,  they always give the best rates in the U.K. ;)

My bloke, who used to be in banking here is forecasting that the lire will continue to rise through the summer and beyond.

Thats what is concerning. For the last few years there has been a bit of a cycle with the Lira weakening over the summer months and strengthening outside of this.

Julie that's what I have heard too, but there is an expectation that it will peak in the next couple of months somewhere around 2.65TL to the £.  Subject, of course, to the 'new' Turkish Government not making any surprise annoucements about the Turkish economy that was held back during the election campaign:-\

When we were over in Calis in June for the entire time we were there (just over 4 weeks) the rate stayed static in Calis at 2.50 or 2.51.   This seemed to be artificially low compared to the rates offered in Fethiye which ranged from 2.58/2.57 and once it went down to the lowest figure of 2.52.   All the usual people who change money in Calis do not appear to have the boards out any longer.   We go to Fethiye quite often anyway, so we nearly always changed our money there and got much better rates.   This is something we have not noticed before in Calis.

anyone who changes money and doesn't work at the bank or in an exchnage place runs the risk of losing money by the time they get it to the bank. This is why the rate on the street is lower.
