What currency should I take to Kalkan?

We would suggest you take a small amount of Turkish Lira with you to cover your first day or so  plus some Sterling. You generally get a better rate of exchange in Turkey than you do outside of Turkey, so it's best to change up your money once you get to your destination.

There are numerous places in the town that will change money - you often get a better rate of exchange in some of the shops in the old town, than you do in the banks. We would however, strongly recommend that you don't take large amounts of cash out with you.

There are also numerous ATM's in the towns from which you can withdraw Turkish Lira using your own bank cards, however, you may need to check what charges may apply with your bank before you travel. And most restaurants and shops in the town will be happy to accept card payment.

What happens if I need medical attention on holiday?

There are a number of English-speaking doctors in our local areas. If you need assistance from one of them, please make contact with our local Representative and he will contact the Doctor on your behalf.

Health care in Turkey is not covered under the E111 as in the European Union and private health cover is necessary.  You will therefore need to pay for a consultation and any medical treatment needed. It is therefore very important that you have adequate insurance cover in place before travelling.
