Can anyone tell me if Euros are accepted in Istanbul and other cities in Turkey.

Was there this past March and especially in the Grand Bazaar they accept USD and Euros. But for eating out, taxis, etc. it is best to have YTL. Just get some from the ATM at the airport when you arrive.

Hi
Learn to use YTL. They are much better at converting to USD and euro than you are.
