PTT Post Office

The PTT is the place most recommended for changing money in Alanya.
The PTT changes almost all foreign currencies into Turkish Lira using the Bank’s daily rate of exchange, on display at the entrance. A 2% commission is charged when exchanging currency.
Please note that you can only exchange not withdraw money at the PTT.
You can buy stamps here and if you want to send any postcards or letters there are three different boxes to choose from (the Turkish name is mentioned in parenthesis): Inland (Yurtiçi), Germany (Almanya) and International (Yurtdışı).
It can take between 4 and 14 days for postcards and letters to reach their destination.
It is also possible to purchase telephone cards at the PTT. Various amounts of credits are available and these can then be used in the telephones right outside the door. This is far more economical than making a call from the hotel or from your mobile phone.
Tickets for concerts and other cultural events are often made available in the forecourt of the PTT.
