When converting Turkish price into Euro and US dollars, it's cheaper. However, it's not the price. You don't get the value for price. That's why you feel Turkey is more expensive.

Any thing good about travelling to Turkey yhese days??? Always pay in the local currency. Withdraw cash in the local currency at ATM, too. Don't expect European or American level of hospitality service. In fact, some hotels and restaurants are rude. It's safer to assume you eat Turkish food 90% of the time. Hardly any varieties of inyernatiinal cuisine. Ending up with shopping snacks in supermarkets is common.

@tiptopturkey

10 ай бұрын

You are right! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I think hyperinflation must be the reason for the higher prices when you buy large quantities. Detergent for example: You could buy 5L today for 500lira. But if you buy 1L today for 100lira, 1L next week for 110lira, 1L next week for 120lira, 1L next week for 130, 1L next week for 140- that's 600lira for 5L. So the brands lose money by selling larger quantities.

@tiptopturkey

8 ай бұрын

Thanks for your input. But, while selling bigger quantities you are using less plastic per liter, so cost is less and time consumed by manufacture to fill 5 liters in bulk is much less than 1 liter. It is before the hyperinflation in Turkey, many times you find bigger items same price as buying 2 small items or more expensive.

Can anyone give some advice: Visiting Turkey (Sarigerme, Dalaman) next month. Coming from Scotland, and the plan was to buy a little local currency before I go and bring English GBP and try to exchange it there - is this the best way to do it, or am I better off just buying it all before I go/use a travel card? I figured I would get a better exchange rate whilst over there.

For the same apartment size in Antalya for USD700 or 800, you will get it for around USD 2,000 to USD 2,500 in a good neighbourhood but not the best in Dubai. I agree the quality of life there is different, but Antalya also is considered a safe city.

What happened to us today? I had Flate Tire and I called Mobile Tire shop. The first thing they did, they removed the tyre and told me the 🛞 tire is expired and to be scrapped. I was quite surprised for a minute because the car I rented from rent a car was almost zero meter. I asked them how much it’s going to cost me to replace the tire … so they picked up a used Tire and said 4500 Turkish Lira which is almost 158 euros. Quite shocking for me haha! I insisted on repairing the existing one. They had to simply pluck the nails nail and do the patching …The tire boy said no it is not possible as it’s almost to go to scrap! I CALLED POLICE 😂… the moment they came to know I’m calling police their tone changed. Everything changed and they agreed to repair the Tyre with 2000 Turkish lira ( still extremely high as normally it shouldn’t go beyond 200-400 Turkish lira at any shop. I paid them because it is a mobile shop and I didn’t want to waste our time….

Thank you for excellent notes about the increase in prices in Turkey. I have also noticed that the Turkish people have changed since 2022. When they see a foreigner they immediately think that they can rip him off. The house services such as garden maintenance, pool cleaning etc. used to be fairly priced now they want to charge more than what a person pays in the UK. I understand that inflation is high but Turks need to understand that we can spend our vacation in many European countries that cost us a lot less than in Turkey. I believe the Turks will lose the tourism if this continues.

Glad you found it useful. Unfortunately, you are right. Some prices are super expensive even exceeding European prices.

Is it best to pay in Turkish lira only to not get scammed ? Thanks for sharing all

Hi, you are welcome! Yes, it is better when items are prices in Turkish Lira. If you find items priced in Euro or USD so better stick to it.

I just returned from Turkey. First and last time. Poor service, RUDE PEOPLE RIPPING EVERYONE OFF. Many better places to visit!!

I couldnt agree more!Came back yesterday,never again!

The prices have gone crazy, we have been coming to Turkey 3 to 4 times a year since 2014. The prices have gone up a lot even if you take into account the inflation

Hi, in all the world, there are scammers. Everyone must be aware and not let them ruin your trip. Regardless of scammers, there are still many nice and trustworthy people in Turkey.

Is paying in dolars always 20% more than in liras? I mean, not only in restaurants but also when we shop for clothes, jewels or cosmetics? If so, where is the best to change dolars into liras in Turkey if you have only cash with you?

Hi, no, it is not the case always. The example we showed was in a restaurant where anyone could opt to pay in Turkish Lira instead. You will find many shops pricing in dollars or euros in the touristic area. In this case, you do the calculation for how much is their exchange rate if it is worth to pay in TL or no. You can exchange at many places, in malls, bazaars, or stand-alone exchange shops and check the best rate from one shop to another.

Hi I am going to Antalya next month from the UK. I was hoping to just use my credit card at restaurants for excursions etc. Will this be okay or shall I convert some Turkish Lira in the uk before I come?

You can use your credit card. If you need cash, exchange in Türkiye you get much better rates than the UK.

Do not eat at the resturants go to shop and make somethibg or if u git to much money get robbed u deservie it

Turks don't like lira because low in value foreign currency can be sold on exchanges at a later date

If this is happening than Turkish government should clamp down hard with huge fines. As it will ruin the countries reputation as a tourist destination.

Indeed

I found the waiters quite rude as well as greedy ,I got the bill in a cup and paid with Turkish lira with 4 x TL 200 note on a bill for a bill of TL 630 and waited for the change ,in the end I inquired where the change was and the waiter replied there was no change after tips ,I was incensed and asked for my change .The waiter did not deserve a tip because he was rude and unfriendly as well as greedy so I did not leave a tip .I would normally give a 15 % tip .But not to this waiter and would avoid this restaurant like the plague. Good customer service is half the pleasure and some restaurants look at tourists as blind cash machines .😢

Hi, if it is priced in Turkish Lira then pay in Turkish Lira. Exchange in Turkey you get better rates than UK. You can also pay in GBP if it is priced in Euro, it is widely accepted.

Thank you so much, but its not a problem to pay in euro in low cost, this people have a life and family too.

Hi, you are welcome! I also like to help and give tips, but I don't like to be scammed or fooled. The extra money from the exchange rate difference is going to the restaurant owners and not the employees who are working 11 hours daily.

Exaggerated comment about the exchange . If you travel into another country, respect the local rules and exchange your money. If you are irresponsible not changing it, why would resto should give you central bak rate?
