USEFUL INFORMATION
Turkey’s currency is the Türk Lirası (Turkish Lira; TL).
Lira comes in coins of 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 kuruş and
a 1 lira coin, and notes of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 lira.
ATMs dispense Turkish lira
to Visa, MasterCard, Cirrus and Maestro card holders. Look for these logos on
the machines; they are found in most towns and places. Virtually all the
machines offer instructions in English, French and German. Always keep some
cash in reserve for the inevitable day when the machine throws a wobbly, or
it’s a holiday. You can usually draw out about €350 per day.
US dollars and euros are the easiest currencies to change, although many
banks and exchange offices will change other major currencies.
Visa and MasterCard/Access
are widely accepted by hotels, shops, bars and restaurants.
It’s easy to change major
currencies in exchange offices and banks. They charge a reasonable commission.
