When I was in Turkey, I took about £50 in Turkish Lira from the UK to make sure I could get to he hotel and cover the first night's stay (this is habit from all my travels). Once in Turkey, I just used by visa cash card to withdraw money from the ATM's. Turkish merchants will also accept euros, us dllars and punds sterling if you have these currencies in cash - it'll save you on commission and they gave reasonable exchange rates..

Change some in the uk so you have money when you get there. the rest of your money take in travellers cheques its safer and you will get a better rate of exchange over there.

you can do it in either place but you may want to check and see which place has the best exchange rate. it varies from one bank to another so beware and don't say i never warned you.
