Turkish Lira for Marmaris: A Practical Guide

Marmaris delivers the classic Turkish package holiday, with a long beachfront, a buzzing bazaar and boat trips in every direction. To enjoy it without fuss, buy Turkish lira before you leave the UK; a commission-free provider such as Travel FX makes the ordering quick.

The bazaar wants notes

Haggling in the covered bazaar is part of the Marmaris experience, and cash gives you the stronger negotiating position. Stallholders quote better prices when notes are visible.

Trips and transport

Boat days to Turunc and Icmeler, water taxis, dolmus rides and beach clubs generally settle in lira, as do tips for hotel staff.
