Yes, as you can freeze the card after withdrawal. At lot of ATM's will apply a local charge, however I have found that 'Sekerbank' is totally free even when withdrawing Euros.Is it safer to transfer some money to the revolut card and use that card to withdraw lira from the ATM in kusadasi.
No.Should I purchase turkish lira before I leave ireland,
Yes, expect around 10 Lira to the Euro with Revolut, 9.6 or so on the street in Kus. Don't have to do it before you go, ie. you can do it while there as well.can I add turkish lira to my revolut card before I go
No, unless you are buying gold/diamonds, then the vendors will usually insist on Euro/GBP/USD.Is it worth using euro over there?
No, even the visa requirement is gone.Do you still need a GBP£5 note to get into Turkey these days?
I remember that in the 90s!
I'm assuming your reply is somewhat sardonic, but just in case and for clarity for @Snowblaze , there is no reason to bring Euro with youJust bring Euro with you, you won't be screwed in any way whatsoever all over Kusadasi
I have never found the need to bring hard cash with me, especially now with 'Revolut' which, so far, has always given me better rates than any bank or change outlet and not just in Turkey. I buy TL on my Revolut card, so that gives me a TL account/balance and draw down on that as needed. I only withdraw TL from ATMs, for incidentals and say going somewhere rural etc.I never bring anything but Euros with me, and get as good if not better rates than doing so with banks,
You don't really need to add Turkish lira to your Revolut account. If you don't it will just subtract the appropriate amount from your Euro balance.can I add turkish lira to my revolut card before I go,
I remember that, i was told bring £5, and and torn or wrinkled £5 were rejected, if you only had a £10 or a £20, no change was given. A table at the airport where you paid it, no till drawer, no receipts, just a big pile of £5 notes on a table. Comical stuff.Do you still need a GBP£5 note to get into Turkey these days?

And then the lads who would unceremoniously grab your bag and carry it to the bus for you whether you liked it or not and then expect a big tip.I remember that, i was told bring £5, and and torn or wrinkled £5 were rejected, if you only had a £10 or a £20, no change was given.

They're still at it and a lot of them are smaller than your 10KG cabin bag.And then the lads who would unceremoniously grab your bag and carry it to the bus for you whether you liked it or not and then expect a big tip.
