In Turkey, you generally need to make all your payments in Turkish Lira (TRY). Converting Uzbek som directly into lira is often difficult. For this reason, many people prefer to bring dollars or euros and exchange them in Turkey.
However:
🏦 Exchanging money at exchange offices, banks, and hotels takes time and carries the risk of high commissions and low rates.
🛍️ Cash is still needed for shopping; bargaining is common in tourist areas.
🧾 Tax Free (VAT refund) procedures can be burdensome with paperwork and long waits.
🏧 Withdrawing cash from ATMs can strain the budget due to high fees and hidden exchange rate differences.
