How are things going with "thanks" in hotels now?
What small bills do you need to have with you and how much do you leave mostly “thanks” to the maid, bartender and waiters in the restaurant?

This "gratitude" is called a tip, and there are no standards about their size. Maid, porter 1-5 dollars if they did something outstanding. Bartender, waiters traditionally 5-15% of the bill (again, if you really liked the service).

When we go on vacation, we always take 10 pieces with us. $1 each, $2 each, $5 each, $10 each, $20 each
A large bill - as much as you need.
We order in advance from the bank.
Maid 1 USD if he spins all sorts of beautiful little animals out of towels, champagne, etc. I always leave.
It is very nice to come to the room, and there is a holiday. It's clean and the crocodile holds the TV remote in its teeth.
The mood rises immediately.
Bartender at the hotel 1-2 dollars.
In the department hotels after 5 p.m. alcohol is poured into glass only for money. The bartender takes 1-2 dollars for this at the hotel.
At the same time, there is not a word about paid wine glasses and glasses anywhere. Or maybe the bartender thinks that a drunk can break by accident.
In city restaurants - read above.
For a good number - 5-10 dollars. or euro.
A small bill is also required when paying for excursions, independent trips around the city, and small purchases.

Anastasia2479, actually they have pounds)). But both dollars and euros in tourist places and hotels are accepted with a bang, so in which currency it is more convenient for you personally to "thank", take that one.

They have this "Bakshish" (tip). They willingly take everything. Small dollars are better. I always give on arrival at the hotel 10...15 $
chef (chief) at the reception, so that they give the number faster. Always works. Accompanying in the room (upon check-in) $ 1..2, then he willingly shows the number, tells what is paid, what is free, instructs on the safe, is embarrassed if there are shortcomings, helps to fix ...
Sometimes I give the bartender $ 1..2 to smile at me and not keep a fig in my pocket (I hardly use bars). I don't leave tips in the room. I don't like swans out of sheets. Sometimes (rarely) I give $1 to the maid to bring something (paper...soap).

I always buy small dollars in Turkey itself, in a hotel or on the beach. You need to buy something small, paying $ 10 dollars. For example, a glass of juice (orange fresh - $2). Always change in change.
For baksheesh, the Euro is not worth looking for specifically. Dollars are better. The effect of 1 euro and 1 dollar is the same.

Turkey accepts both euros and dollars.
In local travel agencies prices are in dollars.
The market accepts both dollars and euros. But it is better to go with a card and exchange for lira. Save more.
They do not change dollars and euros for lira in their banks.

Baksheesh is not a Turkish word, it is borrowed from Farsi and the meaning of this word will be understood not only in Turkey, but also in Egypt and India, Pakistan and also in the countries of the former Yugoslavia and Greece and Azerbaijan
Usually in Turkey, the more modern word is the English word TIPS for tipping.
