Turkish Lira, Cash Machines and Using Cards

One of the Things about Turkey You Should Know, Money is arguably the most crucial factor to consider before visiting Turkey. The Turkish lira is available in both note and coin form. Before you go shopping or to the pubs and restaurants, familiarize yourself with them.

Use currency shops or banks in Turkey instead of airports or travel agencies in your native country to get a better exchange rate. Cash machines can be found in many inhabited regions, and some even work in English. Notify your bank that you will be using credit or debit cards in Turkey so that security breaches do not prevent you from doing so. Also, find out whether there is a fee for using your cards overseas.

Carry minimal amounts of cash, avoid dodgy locations at night, and tell someone of your position on a frequent basis. You'll be as enthralled by the country as many people were if you're reasonable and appreciate the culture.
