Title: Do restaurants accept visa
Post by: Bexscho on August 24, 2009, 10:38:41 AM

Hi
I will be visiting Kalkan in a couple of weeks and don't want to be carrying lots of cash around or leaving considerable amounts in the apartment, so am wondering if the restaurants / tour offices accept visa debit/ credit cards?
Thanks

Yes many of them do ;)

The short answer is yes, but don't forget that your UK bank will probably give a very poor exchange rate compared to exchanging sterling in Kalkan. Over a whole holiday this could add up to a sizeable amount if you only pay by debit / credit card.

If you use the ATM's in Kalkan the same applies rate wise. Most shops here will accept cards without a problem.
