Once known as the seat of ancient civilisation, Turkey’s colourful past owes much to its culture clash between the east and the west. It’s a land of contrasts, diverse landscapes, historical sites, Mediterranean beaches and fabulous cuisine. And compared with much of Europe, Turkey’s budget friendly currency, the lira, means it’s still a relatively affordable holiday.
Get our best rates online. The more you buy the better the rate.
If you’re travelling to Turkey, pre-order your Turkish Lira before you get to the airport to save money by getting a better dollar exchange rate with less commission.Turkey banknotes come in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200-lira denominations. One lira is subdivided into 100 kurus. Coins are minted in 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 kuru denominations, plus there is a 1 lira coin.
Large notes are often not accepted so order your currency in a range of denominations, ensuring you include smaller notes.
Bargaining is common in Turkey and not just at the bazaar - you can also try bargaining for hotel rooms.
To get the best deal when shopping in Turkey:
Visit a few different shops or hotels to get a good idea of the basic price, and then decide the top price you'd be willing to pay.
Go low on your counter-offer to allow plenty of room for negotiations.
Walk away if things aren't going well – it might encourage the shopkeeper to make a better offer.
Don't be pressured by hospitality – it's ok to walk away even if you've been offered food or drink tea by the shopkeeper, but don't accept them if you don't intend to buy.
