I have never used such a currency office at any airport. I always use ATM's. (I just can't remember yet if there is one at Ataturk, but I guess there must be). These office have or terrible rates or an outraging high commission!

Just remember that the receipt you get will be in Turkish Lira (YTL) and not USD or EURO. It confused me when I got my bank statment.

When you choose your withdrawl amount on the ATM, do you choose it in Lira? Because that would be very confusing and I imagine that's the case. I'll have to go to oanda.com to figure out how much I'll need to take out I guess before I leave.

All of the ATMs I used were for withdrawal in Turkish Lira.
I am not very good with exchange rates, so I would just log onto my bank account online and check it(morning coffee at internet cafe). That way I would get the amount right away...I am too mathmatically challenged to do exchange rates!!

You use Euro in your country? The trick I use is simple, not very specified but it works quite well: I double the euro to lira and take off about 10 percent. So, let's say I want to have a withdrawel of 50 euro, than I know that's about 90 YTL (to be exactly it's 86, but I'm near). The other way around is to divide the YTL by two and add about 10 percent, which means that 100 YTL is about 55 Euro (exact it's 58, but again, it's near).
