In Turkey, in stores, prices are indicated in euros. We arrived from there yesterday, it seemed to us more profitable in dollars.

Actually, it’s better to take both dollars and euros! In shops for tourists, they always enter only these currencies! It’s more profitable for them than lira)

Take both dollars and euros, and be sure to take a bank card. It is much more profitable to pay for it, the rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. Rubles are also accepted for payment there, but the exchange rate is not very interesting.

You don’t need to change money for lira, you are unlikely to need them.

We always take dollars. They change everything according to the exchange rate, so there is no point in changing. With what you come with that and come. But it’s more profitable to buy a visa in dollars. Since it costs either 20 dollars or 20 euros.

They ask for more euros, but they don’t refuse dollars either, and sometimes they give change in lira if you want.

It's better to take dollars. In many stores, although prices are indicated in euros, you can pay in dollars, and at the rate of 1 dollar = 1 euro. The natives do not see much difference in them)))

the visa at the airport cost 15 euros or $20. Last year, money changers in their exchangers willingly took rubles, and more profitable than in Moscow. Take all sorts of money, and there already according to the situation.

What kind of nonsense about the Central Bank rate?
1) The card is always in some currency (RUR, USD, EUR)
2) If you pay in a different currency than the card, YOUR bank must convert from the card currency to the payment currency. The conversion rate EXTREMELY RARE corresponds to the rate of the Central Bank. The bank itself spends money on such operations. Why would he do it for you for free?

Further.
Card payments are NOT FAVORABLE for Turks, because then they are officially exposed and they must pay 17% tax. According to the card, the price may be higher for you.
Further.
Please note that if you withdraw money from an ATM, YOUR bank will charge you a fee for withdrawing cash from a "foreign" ATM. This is a plus for the difference in rates.

About dollars and euros. Aborigines are not fools and try to play on the difference in currencies. In May, they had a rate of 1.5 for small amounts. For large ones, they recalculate everything at the official rate or try to cheat.
I would not say which currency is more profitable, but in such cases, the most profitable currency is always the smallest one. From dollars and euros, it is obviously dollars.

I support everyone about dollars, the most profitable, because prices are in euros and you can buy for dollars. Now calculate for yourself if the goods cost 5 euros and you buy for 5 dollars, then this is the benefit :))

Take whatever you want, but there definitely change most of it into lira. They accept them perfectly, and it will cost you less, because they don’t always give change :), if the cost is in lira, they equate one to one :)

Take both dollars and euros, euros to buy a visa (there is always a smaller queue at the Euro ticket office - you will pass faster
passport control) and for duty free, and shopping in Turkey is best done in dollars, because prices are in euros for Europeans, but when you say that from Ukraine, Russia or other post-Soviet prices, then the calculation is in dollars, and also haggle You can, take off more than half the price.

Dollars! Although the Turks accept everything. Some shops - even rubles and hryvnias. I actually saw lyres once - they gave me change ... they were practically not useful ... The Turks figured out the exchange rate for the dollar and the euro a long time ago - for example, in a minibus the price hangs in both dollars and euros (2 dollars or 3 euros) ...

Dollars, of course! I managed to pay in hryvnia, and at the rate, which even in Ukraine has not been heard of for a long time. :))) That is, it is very beneficial for me! And bargain with them, bargain!!!

Take both, and if there is a third .... We once regretted that we did not take the euro. When registering and buying a visa, there was a very long queue (for $) and there was no queue for the euro at all, and they won’t take up much space .

They brought dollars, everyone willingly accepted them, but since everyone has their own exchange office and the national bank, they cheat on small purchases, if it’s unpleasant, you can change a little into lira (because the exchange rate depends only on the weather).

Thanks for all the replies, just got back. When I ran out of dollars, I had to pay in euros, and it was terrible! I was cheated at every turn! For example, in our sightseeing bus, water cost a dollar, and when I told the guide that I had a euro. he said that means 1 euro. I say: "But 2 euros is 3 dollars! Let me give you a coin of 2 euros, and you give me some water and 2 dollars change." he talked to the driver and said the driver didn't agree!!! I was left without water, having money!!!!!! further on a day yacht they sold shrimp on a stick for 5 euros, but everyone had dollars, and therefore everyone except me paid 5 dollars :(((( And in the Cleopatra pool the entrance cost 18 dollars, I gave 20 euros and received from the guide Change $ 8. But after all, 20 euros is 30 bucks, which means that I swam for 22 dollars, and not for 18, like the others !!!
