with us of exchanging our money at the hotel? also does anyone know what the weather is like in April? is it true that you must give a 10 note only per person (even children) once you enter the country? Hi I am going to Alanya in June and was just wondering what the weather is like at that time of year. Would you advise taking a cardigan for the evening. Should I buy suntan lotion in the UK or is it cheaper at the resrot? Also am I best using Euros or Lira? My family (2ad & 3 young children) are staying in Belek in August (School holidays!!!!!). I have been checking currency etc and notice a new global pre paid card is available. We used the dollar prepaid in Florida last year and is was a great and safe way to spend your cash. The rates look fine and they convert your  to Lira at the best exchange rate they get as and when you use it. They do charge at an ATM but charges seem alot more reasonable than credit / debit cards. Has anyone any ideas if these cards are accepted in Turkey - they have the MasterCard logo. I would suggest packing to allow you to wear layers. That way whatever the weather brings you will be prepared. A tshirt with a light sweater or cardigan plus a lightweight coat should give you plenty of options! Oh and don't forget comfortable shoes!
