The official currency of Turkey is the Turkish Lira (TRY). It is used for all transactions including accommodation, food, transport and shopping. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, hotels and tourist locations. Cash is useful for markets, small vendors and rural regions. ATMs are common in cities, allowing easy withdrawal of local currency. Some tourist areas may accept euros or US dollars, but prices are generally in lira. Understanding the currency helps travellers manage expenses efficiently.
