Where can I change dollars for Turkish lira? We go for the first time.

Answering the information section of the "Subtlety of Tourism"
In Turkey, as well as in many other resort areas, there are enough points for currency exchange. In addition to official exchangers, post offices are engaged in this, where the rate is even more profitable for a tourist. The post offices are indicated by the letters PTT on the yellow signboard.

The exchange rate against the European and American currencies is unstable - it is impossible to say exactly in advance. To date, this 1 USD is equal to 1, 99 TRY.

It is easiest for a traveler to bring US dollars with them and pay them on the spot. Local shops, cafes, hotels, taxi drivers, etc. willingly accept dollars. Moreover, it is more profitable to pay with dollars than to change them to local currency and pay with lira.
