Can anyone tell me if any of the Banks in Dalaman have English Speaking Staff? I am ashamed of myself for not knowing enough Turkish to go native. The prefixes and suffixes are still a minefield.

Many Thanks

Most Garanti branches have a foreign liason so maybe this might be your best bet. Failing that there are 2 very good english speakers at Is bank in Dalyan.....

Hi Kesban

I use Akbank in Dalaman in the main square, where you will find english speaking staff and are very helpful. The Yapi Kredi near the green palm tree, might have an english speaker as I know her brother speaks the language.
The advantage of Akbank, is that the queues are always short compared with Zirak further along the road! I don't know about the other banks as I've not used them.

Hi Kesban

I paid my electric first by going into a bank myself, then arranged direct debit. The water bill I had to pay separately, about a week after getting the bill. They print when you can pay at the bottom!
As the nearest Tedas is in Ortaca, it was the easiest way to pay. I also had my internet and telephone paid by direct debit as well.
