It is better to have money on the card, and only small things to have cash with you.

Anything can happen ... once at a time it doesn’t have to. Money in the safe is a big temptation for servants. But you can’t go without money either, you never know what can happen in a foreign country (kicked out of the hotel, buy a return ticket ... etc.). As for the "last day" ... on this day, cases occur, and there is no time to figure it out and find out

Pavel1900, You can't buy excursions by bank transfer. Baklava on the beach - even more so.
Of course, it is better to carry cash with you. You can leave your passports in the safe quite calmly, no one needs them.

mindguru for baklava and excursions, $ 300 is quite enough (for 10..15 days of stay). You can take them to the beach with you, any smartphone costs more ...

Well, yes, except for commissions, no problem. Yes, and ATMs, you will be surprised, but not in every hotel.

To prevent theft from the safe, it is enough not to leave the room for the entire vacation. You will be surprised how many people do this.

8 times were in Egypt. We heard about thefts, so we didn't leave anything in the safe. Unfortunately, in Egypt, the safe performs a sham function, especially on the last day.

I often met such information about thefts in Egypt and not only on this site. In Turkey, there is no such discussion ... Maybe it's just me who got that impression? I have been to Turkey many times and in different hotels. Left things (camera, phone, open suitcase ..) in plain sight. Nothing ever went missing...

We were in this hotel in 2014, we left money and documents in a safe, on the last day we take everything with us. As for cards and ATMs, for example, I’m afraid to use them in a foreign country, what if I eat a card, suddenly I don’t press something, and they round up pretty well, in my opinion they round up to 10 pounds. But in this hotel they used an ATM a couple of times. And yet - in banks they didn’t want to change less than $ 100.

Use a card or take cash in small bills: $ 5-10-20. Replace only $100, less often $50.
We kept the money in the safe and my gold jewelry. Sometimes she just left earrings and rings on the bedside table, no one touched., As she put it, they lay. Apparently we were just lucky...but we didn't take 50-100. There were thefts in the hotel, in the sense of substituting money for fake candy wrappers.
Moreover, in Egypt it is ubiquitous both in cheap and
and luxury hotels. Even the guide warned us initially - Save your money! Then it is unrealistic to prove the theft, the hotel disclaims responsibility. Calling the police won't accomplish anything. The hotel management writes a counter statement about slander and undermining the reputation and sues. Who got into such a situation has achieved nothing !!!!
Spoiled vacation, loss of money, time spent in jail, going home at your own expense!!! The embassy does not help!!! I was at the same time with tourists from Ukraine, whose money was stolen. The tourist was taken away by the police, instead of being protected. They did not achieve anything, and the money was not returned, as far as I know.

I once read a review of a tourist who had a rest in a good, decent hotel and was familiar with the hotel management. And she lost her money. So the head of the theft reimbursed her for the amount, realizing that she was telling the truth. And only because he was familiar with her and her reputation did not allow her to doubt. She wrote that hoteliers think tourists are scammers. They deliberately come up with the idea that they were robbed in order to steal money from the hotel. Maybe in other more civilized countries you will be compensated for the theft, while maintaining the reputation of the hotel. In Egypt - NO!!!
As for Turkey... Only once I read a review of tourists who caught the maid thanks to the camera in the corridor. And since everywhere...

Mindguru...To be afraid of wolves - not to go to the forest?
Need to go on vacation!!!
You just need to protect yourself a little. Card, small cash. Safe at the reception, etc.
You can be robbed in your own country.
