Which currency in Turkey?
Visiting Istanbul this summer. Aware that they use the new Tukish Lira. However our hotel rate is given in Euros. Which currency should I use for our stay? What do I use for the cab driver at the airport? Are dollars readily accepted?
However learn to use the Lira. You will have a better handle of what exactly you're paying.

When I was in Turkey prices were in Lira and more increasingly in Euros. I never saw prices posted in USD and with the tremendous decline of the dollar I doubt that it would be widely accepted. I used Lira for all cash transactions and credit cards when I could.
