Can I use a credit card to withdraw cash from an ATM in Girne? Alternatively, can I use it to get cash from a currency exchange?

I have a feeling that you can only use a debit card in a machine there.

If you withdraw cash using the Credit Card facilities you will start to incur interest charges at the card issuer's astronomic rates from the off....



If you have a debit card it's like taking the money from your current account.

The rates are not too bad but you do pay a premium.

Not sure whether the ATM will accept a German debit card, we shall see. They are in a strange format!

Many thanks for your help all.

Best to use HSBC ATM, draw sterling then change at exchange shop you will get better exchange rate.
