Should i take cash on holiday or travellers cheques or just my bank card?

[Cha cha]

I am taking £580. I thought i would take the £80 in cash (mixed sterling and YTL) and the rest in travellers cheques. But my friend is just taking her bank card and drawing money out when she is there. I am reluctant to do this in case i lose my bank card or incase its stolen or the machine swallows it.

Do places (in Turkey specifically) charge alot of commission for travellers cheques?

How do you think i should take my money?

I always take cash when I go on holiday and have a bank card in case. Banks charge you whenever you use it abroad so its not advisable to have this as your main source. My friend always takes travellers cheques so I guess its really up to you. Check the lonely planet website for details on travellers cheques and money advice.
