Information appeared on the Internet that in Turkey, in the markets and in hotels, rubles are taken for calculation, is this true? Or should I go with dollars? If so, where is it better to change (in Russia or in Turkey)

In the markets in Turkey, everything is taken. Only the course they have at the same time is what they want. The question is more like some kind of trolling, but if the author is really interested, then the unequivocal answer will be - "Of course, it is profitable to travel with dollars."

Yes, all the years in the markets and small shops they took dollars, euros, lira, rubles. This year, the Ukrainian hryvnia was not shunned either :). The hotels prefer the euro or the dollar. so take the currency - you will not lose. Especially stock up on small currency - this is always a problem. If necessary, you can change in exchange offices or a bank. But it all depends on where you will rest. if your hotel is located on the outskirts of the village, then running around looking for a profitable course is problematic. And in towns like Kemer Center, large villages of Alanya, no problem ... Why look for those banks in Russia. which are exchanged for Turkish Lira? With dollars and euros, you will be welcomed everywhere with joy. Take them here :)

The most correct way to pay is in Turkish currency. It is possible with a dollar, but still more profitable than TL.

We always travel with dollars. On the first day, we exchange $100 for lira and pay with them already. Of course, everywhere, including in all markets, they accept dollars, but change will be given in lira, and at an unfavorable rate. Therefore, it is more profitable to pay in local currency.

It all depends on the type of vacation you choose. If you are going to an all-inclusive hotel, then you don’t even need lira. Excursions and entertainment in dollars or euros (that's what you have), in order to buy a souvenir, you should not bother with exchanging for lira either. With full board at the hotel, you will not need to eat on the side and go shopping globally in local shops and bazaars. You will also leave a tip in dollars (usually, if the supply of small things has come to an end, then in the first days we turn either to the reception and there they willingly exchange them for small ones, or directly to those who are cleaning (they collect this trifle by numbers and just as willingly change If you have a different vacation, for example, rented an apartment and cook yourself, there is a need to go shopping at markets, then of course it makes complete sense to change dollars for lira, but it’s better to start with 100 dollars and further as needed.

Another such nuance: even if you pay for purchases in dollars or euros, then change in lira is given only in shopping centers. But in the market and in ordinary shops, sellers calmly give change in dollars or euros. The only thing is to take small bills with you. Because when making a purchase for $10, sellers are not very willing to give away all the change from $100. You may need to run and look for where to exchange. therefore, more 1-2-5-10-20 dollars. bills and don't bother

Change from dollars is given in lira at a VERY FAVORABLE rate in supermarkets (Migros, in particular).
Rubles are accepted in lavas and in the bazaar, but not everywhere. Hryvnia, too, and for a very, very long time, exactly 8 years.
If the author is going to the hotel (which is mentioned in the question) to pay in rubles for "tea", then they will not understand him correctly. They will not be accepted at the reception either.

Only with dollars, small ones, this is the main currency in the markets. Do not change for lira, it is not profitable.
