Does anybody know of any other banks in Fethiye where one can withdraw pounds sterling from the ATM's. I've been using the HSBC for the last 13 years to draw sterling with my Barclays debit card with no handling fee or commission charges.

Garanti ATMs at the main branch in Fethiye also do sterling

Yes many Bank's ATMs do dispense in sterling, but do they and/or your UK bank charge you for the privilege?  At the moment with HSBC we do not get any charges for this service..so I hope they do not find a buyer anytime soon!!
