Friends of ours were out about 2 weeks ago and they changed their sterling travellers cheques at the small hut opposite 'El Capitano' restaurant in Alsancak.

That may make a small difference also it might depend on who issued them i.e. Thomas Cook, HSBC, AmEx etc.

How can it be, It's cash when countersigned and ID with passport!

Richard is right Msg 6.



But no one is obliged to accept travellers cheques as they are not legal tender.

Incidentialy if the issuer is out of business the person who exchanges them is at a loss.
