Constant changing of the Lira means you should take hard currency or take from cash machine if you have a nice bank.
Banks have been closed all week due to the Holiday plus the Istanbul election re-run on the 23rd of June means the government is trying to hold the strength of the Lira.
Last summer the Euros was up to 7.80 to the Lira this week it is 6.62, however even last week it was above 7 and fell due to the above 2 factors to keep consumer confidence high.

In my experience the Turks will accept any currency. I’ve paid for leather goods in US dollars before. Last time I was there I used sterling and euros. As long as you’re spending they don’t care. Watch out for your luggage allowance when you bring that rug back  |

Different parts of turkey prefer different currency. When I visited Marmaris they loved Stirling or lira we visited side last year and they preferred euros, dollars or lira but would except Stirling. I always take lira it’s they’re currency and they will always except that. |

You are right it changes place to place. I suggest you exchange your local money sterlin to lira. Look at the real time price on investing com. Some shops take your money less price. Be carefull.  |
