Regular banking hours in Turkey are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday,
with some branches open as early as 8:00 am and as late as 7:00 pm. Most banks
are also now open limited hours on Saturdays as well. Visitors who wish to cash
cheques or require other banking services are advised to check times of
operation with the institutions. Main branches of Turkey chartered banks, particularly in major
centres, are equipped to exchange foreign currency as well. Several major
European and foreign banks have offices in Didim, and will handle some foreign
currencies directly.
