Title: Exchange rate in Kalkan
Post by: Vally on May 28, 2011, 05:27:27 PM: Hi,

does anyone know what the exchange rate is in Kalkan at the moment? I fly out on Monday and M&S are offering 2.53 which is much better than usual.

Thanks

Vally

Useful if you maybe hire a car from Dalaman and arrive at an decent hour.

always best to check out http://travelmoney.moneysavingexpert.com/ to see who is offering the best rate but we always prefer to use a name we know and trust just to be on the safe side
