Question

Can anyone tell me if turkey use euros or just their own currency whats best to take on hols.?

Answer 1

Don't take Turkish Lira change your own currency at banks not change offices when you get here

Answer 2

Best to take sterling £'s as you will get a much better exchange rate than you will get in the UK

Answer 3

Take some anti biotics. I was the only one in my party that had taken some (for something in the uk) and the only one that didnt suffer from sickness and diarhoea (a party of 8). This in a top hotel.

It is an unhygeinic country.

Answer 4

Dude no they dont use Euros im not even close to there and I know that. Its a middle Eastern country im sure they have their own currency

Answer 5

I find if you bring Euros, they are easy to change at favourable rates, about 1.91 YTL to the Euro at present, but as another answerer said, take a bit of sterling, you very often find bargains because the Turks want the stering eg: theres a chinese restaurant in Marmaris that you can eat all you want for £4 or 17YTL. . At the moment £4 is worth only about 10YTL, so saving 7YTL, nearly £3.

Have a great holiday, the PO is very goog for Euros and no commission.

Answer 6

they their own currency  : YTL ( new turkey lira ) which is about 0.55 euro   ( 100 euro = 189 YTL ) but u could easily change them in turky.

Answer 7

Answer 8

they do take euros, but i always take YTL, its their own currency and i think you show some respect when you use it. have a great time when you go.

Answer 9
