Unlike the resorts of the Kemer region, where the bulk of tourists are citizens of Russia and the republics of the former USSR, in Marmaris there are a lot of holidaymakers from European countries, as well as Turks who came from different areas of their country. It is clear that this category of tourists is the question of what currency comes to rest in Marmaris is not interested, but for the rest, especially those who are first going to come to Marmaris or even in Turkey itself, this question for sure appeared.
Recently, in many hotels, you can change money directly to the reception, but the course is usually not very good and therefore all tourists change in exchange offices or departments of banks located on the streets of the city. As well as on any Turkish resort, in the exchange office of Marmaris, the most chassis currencies for exchange for Turkish lira are US dollars, euros, English pounds and Russian rubles. But in addition, there are exchangers in which Ukrainian hryvnias, Kazakh tenge and other currencies can be exchanged. But if you have the opportunity to choose a currency, then of course it is best to take with you dollars or euros, as the course is usually overestimated to the Russian ruble. It is probably due to the fact that there are often jumps in relation to the ruble to the dollar and to be reinsured from unforeseen losses, the owners of exchange offices exchange rubles with a small margin. In principle, in any store or restaurant you can safely settle dollars or euros and even rubles. Price tags for the convenience of tourists are mostly written in dollars or euros, the exception can be supermarkets, pharmacies and markets that have the price in Turkish lies to their products,
But when calculating also takes currency, making recalculation at the rate. Some may ask why then change the currency on Turkish lira if all without exception takes and dollars and rubles. The fact is that while calculating the lymors can not save badly, since when recalculating with the Turkish lira on the dollar, if for example it turns out 2.75, then you will certainly take 3 dollars and for sure they will not be given. When calculating public transport, there is also a significant difference between the lyuring and another currency. For example, if the passage is three lira, then in dollars take two, which is at the moment more than four lira. If you stretch the passage and back, and even for the whole family, it turns out not a bad difference.
Therefore, of course, it is better to change some amount of local currency. This can be done in any exchange ticket or branch of one of the Turkish banks, which are enough in Marmaris. Courses may differ slightly, so if you want to change 20-30 dollars, it makes no sense to run in search of the best course. If the amount of the exchange is large enough, then it is necessary to look at the courses of different exchangers and choose the greatest one. Usually private exchangers work from nine-ten in the morning and until late at night. Bank branches are closed early early and on weekends as a rule do not work.
Recently, many try not to take cash with them, but prefer to be calculated by bank cards, which is definitely very comfortable. But here there is my own. Some sellers do not accept calculations on the card, especially for small shops and bazaar. In addition, it will not be possible to push a good discount when calculating the card, because first, later, when removing cash, the seller will have to lose a certain amount for cash. Secondly, all amounts carried out through the terminal are taxed by tax authorities as funds received from the sale. Therefore, sellers are not profitable to carry out large amounts of non-cash calculations. In addition, the convenience of the card is that in the case of the need of cash, you can at any time to remove the necessary amount in any of the ATMs, which are enough on the streets of the town. Moreover, you can remove both Turkish lira and dollars or euros. For example, Turkish Denizbank cooperates with the Russian Sberbank of Russia and in the ATMs of this bank, holders of Sberbank Russia cards can safely cash money without commission.
There is another such option, it is to buy Turkish lyters in your homeland if there is such a currency in your banks. Before the trip, ask about this option, the course can be much more profitable than you then change the currency in Turkey. Just calculate the calculation of the fact that the lyra you will buy for rubles and that's it. And so buy dollars for rubles, and in Turkey will have to change dollars on the lira, it turns out a double exchange that usually costs more.
