Lira rate in Calis
« on: January 18, 2018, 22:08:39 PM »
Yet again the debate is should we change UK pound to Lira while the exchange rate looks good, we know its a million dollar question, we have already changed some into Lira and got an excahnge of 5.05 it now stands today at 5.09 , with three trips this year booked its an if and when , we normally chnage it when we arrive but are suspicious it will start to fall when the tourist season starts, what are peoples views on this .

In my opinion, you pays your money and takes your choice.

Simple as that.

On January 18 2017 the exchange rate was 4.65 - who on here (or elsewhere) could have predicted today's value.

I would advise sunlover to never buy lira for future visits to Turkey beyond their next one. And buy that as close to departing as possible.

Warning: Lira to pound exchange rates can go up, as well as up really fast.

For our sins.......

The present Mrs H buys some in the UK and the rest in Turkey.

I always change (legally or otherwise) in Turkey not before departing the UK.

Same ..if the rate appears good..I will buy some in the UK then take a chance on it being higher or lower when I get to Turkey.

Rate from Turkish ATM yesterday, using friendly plastic, would have been 5.225.
