Travelling to Turkey? Save time and plan ahead

It’s often described as ‘the land of four seasons’, offering visitors an unlimited range of things to do on their holiday to Turkey. Whether you’ve planned to ski down the mountains of Erciyes, relax on the beaches of Alanya, or explore the relics of the Ottoman empire - start your trip on the right foot by ordering your Turkish lira ahead of time.

Exchange your GBP for TRY online or at select John Lewis Bureaux de Change. Online orders can be sent directly to your home by the next working day or at your nearest Waitrose or John Lewis store by the branch’s earliest collection date.

Sell your leftover Turkish Lira

If you have any leftover Turkish lira after your holiday, we’ll buy back your notes and exchange them for pounds. We’ll only be able to buy back currency in-store, so pop into any John Lewis Bureau de Change with a valid form of ID and your Turkish lira banknotes.  

If your trip to Turkey has been cancelled, you can return your liras for a full refund within 35 days of the purchase date. Make sure you have your original order receipt or order confirmation when you make the return. Please note returns can only be made in-store at our John Lewis Bureau de Change branches.
