The amount of money is a subjective thing, everyone's appetites are different. Take 250-300 dollars per person for excursions, souvenirs, tips, etc., should be enough (if without fanaticism). Duty free at the airport is a separate issue, for this it is better to take euros (dollars are accepted, but at a bad rate).
Take excursions not from hotel guides, but from "street" agencies, the price will be lower. In the shops, shops bargain to the last.
You should not buy expensive things (leather, furs, jewelry - the prices on the coast of Antalya are unthinkable, and the quality is not always on top), but this is IMHO.
There is no need to be afraid of anything, behave politely and correctly, and everything will be good.

As for "where" to buy, I would advise buying things in stores that are intended for locals, ie. with price tags in lira. So much cheaper and better quality.
And yet, with regards to money, in duty free it is better to pay in euros (cheaper), and in Turkey itself, keep some of the money in dollars, and change some to lira. I usually leave dollars for excursions / transfers, and pay for purchases with lira.

I don’t know your age, but you need to be wary of massage therapists. Most of them are well versed in Swedish massage for personal use. They can relax until they lose control of themselves. The disco is also full of local rhinos offering free drinks. You don't have to drink them. In cheap hotels, the same can happen from the hands of bartenders, but this was not noticed in utopia. Excursions on the street. Look out for these prices. Sauna (all for two) $ 25, rafting $ 25, yacht 25, evening yacht 25. What and where to buy from excursions in Mahmutlar write in a personal.

and I would recommend taking a bank payment card with you: "Visa", etc. . in this case, there is no concern at all in terms of currency exchange. The rate is always profitable. You can withdraw money from an ATM, but why?, if cards are accepted in almost all stores. after arrival, I took an extract - not a single violation, not a penny extra is removed. and cash is also needed, just in case, but we took in very small amounts. and in duty free it's generally wonderful to use a card.

You need to take with you:
1) Bathing suit and sunscreen
2) Be sure to wear a headdress - you can’t go there without it
3) A camera with a case for underwater shooting (it costs 1,000 rubles in any store)
4) video camera
5) 300 e.d. per person for excursions - do not use hotel guides.
6) DO NOT BRING YOUR LAPTOP WITH YOU, ESPECIALLY FOR GUYS
Excursions to buy in local travel agencies (not to be confused with local lorks). tour. agencies are located on the first floors of buildings - you can't go wrong with advertisements in different languages. Try rafting, diving, if possible Pomukkale Ephesus (expensive.
Do not buy in those stores that are offered by hotel guides, it is better to walk around in the city (2r cheaper)
Behave with dignity, but without show-offs and rudeness - the Turks are a cheerful, friendly people, but quick-tempered.
If you are a girl, you need to clearly be able to say "no".
If you are a guy, you need to be able to clearly understand when they say "no" to you.
I wish you a good rest.
Tune in for the best.

We always take somewhere around $ 1000 for two, in order to be sure of ourselves, it was enough for excursions, we never bought excursions on the streets, we always have our tour operator, albeit more expensive, but there is at least some certainty that everything will be fine, yes and insurance ... I would not risk it, even though they advised you here.
There is nothing special to be afraid of, I have been to Turkey many times, everything was fine, of course there are clingy Turks, if you are a girl, speak clearly ... no ... and everything will be OK. And also take medicine with you, from changing water and food can be uncomfortable, I take active coal, mezim or festal with me, something for the disorder, and some kind of painkillers. Good luck!

Most importantly, take a good mood with you and everything will be fine.
I would advise not to keep all the money in one place, even if it is a safe.

yes, you didn’t take a low bar for the first time (then it will be difficult to agree to less comfortable hotels), but everything is super, by the way, we have been to Alanya several times, you can buy leather and just about any things even in the center, even in Konakli (this is such an area) , the only bummer is too intrusive sellers. It is necessary to refuse more categorically, otherwise shopping will not be a thrill, and everything else has already been explained to you before me, and I see it more than once. Good luck !!! Utopia is a great choice

As 12 years of experience shows, a high bar for a start (and Utopia is not high, but a normal five, of which there are many) is not always a bad thing. The main thing is to have a desire to return to this country later. I am already building my vacation as I want, regardless of the wishes of the guides and the hotel administration, even if I am going with or through them.

about money. these are your personal expenses. if you have All inclusive, then count only on souvenirs + excursions. dol 300-400. Naturally, if there is finance on the stock card, this is a plus.
for excursions - the tour operator deliberately overcharges for their excursions, and does not bear any responsibility in which case. and you will have travel insurance, and therefore it is valid throughout the country, and you can not listen to the nonsense about "if you do not take a tour with us, then the insurance does not work"!
