Im off to turkey in 2weeks and was wondering whether the currency is lira or euros?

Please help im confused. I've researched on the internet but still dont know whether th currency is still lira.





Please answer if you've been to turkey this year!


Thanks.|||In touristic places each of Turkish Lira (TL), Euro, Sterling and Dollar can be used. However, it is suggested to exchange your money into Turkish Liras (TL) when you arrive at your holiday resort and always pay in Turkish Liras in your shopping. You can easily find exchange offices on main streets of each city in Turkey. The rate is a lot better in Turkey so it鈥檚 better to exchange it in Turkey.





Currency rates: (1 拢 = 2.56 TL), (1 鈧?= 2.25 TL), (1 $ = 1.57 TL) on 14th June 2011.

They prefer for you to pay for things over there in lira but they do accept euro in some places. The lira is at a very good exchange rate at the moment in which you can exchange in travel agents, post offices or even in local supermarkets and restaurants ect when you get there.|||recently the government made some adjustments on lira and we used Yeni Lira for a couple of years. Maybe it confused you. However, we never used euro since we are not eu member. if you have euro, you can exchange it in turkey of course.|||you can use Euro in some places but it is better to have also the Lira with you as some shope specialy the small once don't take Euro, you can change Euro to TL i think the reate now is 1 Euro = 2.2 TL|||I am turkish and when I go on holiday to Turkey we convert to Lira so yes it is Lira. Usually about 拢1 is double the amount in turkish currency so it will be about 2TL or 2.5 TL. TL stands for Turkish Lira|||Yes it's lira, but 6 zeros deleted from lira in 2005. Bring euro, you can exchange it in Turkey.|||they still use the lira :) although they will be more than happy to take euro's which i found a little strange .. but you may get a better price paying in lira, have a good holiday! im back there again in july :D|||Still lira but you can use euros and sterling in lots of places|||It depends on the area, most of the places take both currencies.|||They use the Lira. I have never had a holiday in my life, anywhere.
