Dalaman Airport - Warning!:
The new terminal at Dalaman Airport is very expensive ref: food soft drinks beer etc. We woiuld suggest that you take these type of items with you for your return journey.
We also advise that you do NOT change money on the way in to Dalaman Airport as the rates are NOT good, we suggest you change money in Kalkan. The Post office next to Tomato restaurant on the main street usually has good rates. Most people in Kalkan and even on way (if you stop for a beer etc) will take Sterling. There are 5 or six banks in Kalkan now all with ABM's. / hole in the wall - bankomats!
