It is very difficult to say exactly how much money a tourist needs for a vacation. Everyone has different needs. Someone is used to buying clothes in branded stores (and the prices for such things in Turkey are practically the same as in Russia), while someone does not need purchases at all, they spend money only on excursions or in restaurants. Therefore, you need to decide how much money to take based on your own needs.
Travel budget - how much money to take with you
Turkey is a relatively inexpensive country. There you can have a tasty meal in a small restaurant for an amount of two hundred to five hundred rubles per person, not including alcohol. Quality local cotton summer clothes are also quite cheap. Therefore, if on vacation you do not need anything but a pair of new shorts and T-shirts, then you can take a very small amount with you.
Just remember that when entering the country, there are certain conditions for obtaining a stamp. One of the points of the rules is that a person must have at least $ 300 with him. This is not always checked, but if there is no cash, the entry stamp may be refused.
If you go to an all-inclusive hotel, you will hardly need money for food. If you do not want to try the local cuisine in the restaurants outside the hotel. Therefore, this item can be safely excluded from the budget.
In a completely different way, it is worth planning the budget for those who travel to Turkey for the purpose of shopping - for fur coats, leather jackets, etc. Good quality things there at a slightly lower cost than in Russia, but still not cheap. For example, a rabbit fur coat will cost around $ 400. Fashionable leather jacket - about $ 400. Of course, there are also very inexpensive outerwear. But its quality leaves much to be desired.
It is also worth putting more money into the budget for those who want to travel around the country. Tours purchased from hotel guides are usually very expensive. It will be much more profitable to rent a car and drive on your own. Fortunately, navigators showing roads around the world are now installed in almost every modern phone.
Remember that not all cards are valid abroad. It is optimal to have VISA classic, Master Card classic. It doesn't matter if they are debit or credit. These cards work all over the world.
What money do you need to take
Turkey has a national currency - the lira. But at the same time, in tourist places they accept US dollars, euros and even rubles. If you do not want to carry a large amount of cash, you can put fixed assets on the card, leaving three to four hundred dollars. Cards are accepted in most shops, in many restaurants, they can be used to pay for the hotel.
There are a lot of ATMs in resort areas, there will be no problems with cash withdrawals. The commission for the operation is small. Just remember that when converting from one currency to another in different banks, you may get a different amount. It all depends on the internal course. Find out where it is most beneficial.
