Are there money changing facilities at the Turkey/Georgia border, and how good are they?
Soon I hope to cross the border from Turkey to the Republic of Georgia and need to work out my money.
To minimize horrendous and unavoidable bank fees I prefer to withdraw larger amounts less frequently. But if a border crossing is imminent I need to know I can change my money in time and not at a rip-off rate. If I can't change money OK at the border I would withdraw a smallish amount in Turkey and then withdraw a larger amount when I get to Georgia and just have to suffer the extra fees.
So is there a money changer at the Turkey/Georgia border? Are the rates for changing Turkish Lira to Georgian Lari decent?
Best Answer
Lari to Lira exchange is not recommended, you should use USD as the middle currency. that way you would lose only acceptable exchange fees instead of very big margins.
