Where to change money at Ataturk Airport?
Tell me, please, where is the best place to change dollars for lira at Ataturk Airport? I know that dollars / euros are accepted everywhere, but lira is needed to pay for the hotel upon arrival, and for public transport (Istanbul card), so I would like to change money at a sane rate, if one can be found at all at the airport. Coordinate the location of the exchange point at the airport, please.
Or, maybe you will advise to change a little at the airport only to pay for the metro / tram, but tell me a more or less favorable exchange point in the area of the Sultanahmet tram stop (in the area where the hotel is located)?

Hello, I was in Istanbul in October 2011, there were no problems with currency exchange, exchange offices are on every corner, the rate is almost the same everywhere. I didn't notice at the airport. You can change a small amount to travel by metro, the rest is near the hotel, everything will be shown to you. From Istanbul impressions are very warm. All currencies are accepted

tt.n.66, thank you!
And what is more economically profitable - to change money for lira in exchange offices or withdraw lira from a hryvnia VISA card? Who has comparative experience?

Determine the benefit yourself on the day of the exchange, checking the data of VISA and the exchange point. Card conversion - hryvnia-dollar-lira, exchange office - dollar-lira.

I found a site where you can see the current exchange rate in the VISA system: http://corporate.visa.com/pd/consumer_services/consumer_ex_rates.jsp?src=ex_rez

Correctly. But do not forget about the percentage for conversion :)))

I will answer myself now from personal experience (yesterday I returned from Istanbul) - maybe this information will be useful to someone.
There are several currency exchange points at the airport, but when comparing the exchange rate, you need to pay attention to the signs, whether this point charges a commission from the operation (for example, "commission 4%" - commission 4%) or does not charge ("no commission"). Therefore, you don’t need to immediately switch to a more favorable rate on the exchanger’s display - first you need to look at other inscriptions :)))
The exchange rate at the airport is quite adequate, but the best rate I've seen is in and around the Big Market and Egyptian Market. You can also find a good exchange rate around Sultanahmet Square.
