Default What currency for Turkey ????

Hi guys I'm off to Turkey in a few weeks and I was wondering weather to take euros or lira, We are staying at a place called Oludeniz if it helps.

I'd like to know too as I got mixed responses when I researched it, I'm probably going for Turkish Lira. Also worth noting that I've been told you need £10 for your entry visa, and if you need a £10 note per visa, if you give them a £20 note you get no change and one visa.

New devalued Lira. They refer to it as YTL. Use this for Northern Cyprus too.

Yep, they knocked about six 0's off the notes as 2.2mill lira to the pound was getting silly in 2003.

Turkish lira
Depending on if its your thing I would recommend doing the parsending off the mountain, such a rush its unreal!! costs about 60 quid but worth every penny,they even let you take your own pics/ film on the decent but offer you their pro stuff at the end.
if you smoke an wanna take some home dalaman airport does 200 for about £18-22!! It will cost you about £20-25 for a maccy d's or KFC meal though!!!! (in the airport,normal price elsewhere.
also don't forget your bartering skills,they love a good barter

Oludeniz lovely place. Got married there .

Best advice I can give. Take English and transfer it over there! A lot better rates.

We even payed for a few bits to traders with £.
