I really respect honest people!well done thank you for that 👍
Glad you liked our video!😊
Thank you so much for all the information, it absolutely helpful 🌹
Hi, glad our videos are helpful!
You are spot on. It happened to when I was there last week. You don't know who you trust. Economy is collapsing and some Turkish people are getting far too much greedy. Personally I am done with that country.
Unfortunately, it's increasing with the inflation but there are still many good people. Hope you get to visit the country again in better conditions.
I'm sad you made this experience in my country but yes Inflation makes it tough for us but it's no excuse to scam people and tourist's for sure.
I am coming to Turkey soon and I have been watching your videos and they are all so helpful! Thank you 😊

Nice video! Türkiye is a wonderful place, but we must always keep our eyes and ears open for scams like this. It can get exhausting, but most Türks are suffering, so many will do all they can to make a little extra in this time of need. :)

Turkey 🇹🇷 is my favourite country in the world 🌎 I am going back to marmaris agin later in the year love Turkish food and the people
Indeed, it is a beautiful country. Hope you enjoy your trip!
Enjoy it and don’t be scammed
@@Bellatutu1927 been going for around 20 years and never been scammed
This doesn't happen in marmaris that's why the British go to marmaris 😎👍
Hi, as i mentioned, it is not the case at all restaurants in Antalya. Last week, I saw a post on FB complaining about the same in Marmaris. At least, who watched the video can be aware now and avoid the additional 20% on payment.
Thanks it just a life saver i am coming this monday here i am a bit affected as i am jewish but i hope that it should be ok
You are welcome! Don't worry, hope you will have a nice trip.
Thank you for advice, I am going to Aska Lara Hotel , Antalya , hope I will not get scammed like this 👍
You're welcome! Hope you have a great time!
Thank you for all your advice. But what you said about restaurants, like bad exchange rates and plastic in the food that's all normal in England 😂
You are welcome! It seems all the world is losing good service. 😉
Same thing happend to me with Wizzair regarding exchange rate
Going to Turkey for the first time, very grateful for all the advice 👍
Glad it's helpful! Hope you have a great time! 😊
@@tiptopturkey I am so looking forward to Turkey
Most restaurants are quite honest,
Of course, there are many good restaurants.
@@tiptopturkey I am counting down the days until I fly 🕊️
Going to Antalya nxt week so trying to watch as many vids as possible to get the lay out lol never been to Turkey before
Hope you enjoyed Antalya! 😊
@@tiptopturkey sure did it was roasting
It's the hottest year since 2019.
@@tiptopturkey defo was warm. One day was in the 30s
In summer, it's almost always between 35°C and 40°C. And sometimes even more.
Hi, thanks so much for your helpful videos and answering people’s questions. What is the weather like in the beginning of April? I’m worried the pools will the cold. Are the days long or short in April? Thank you
Hi, glad you find them helpful!😊 The beginning of April is not suitable for swimming. If it is a sunny day, then you might opt for a quick swim, but the water will be cold. Days will be long, around 12+ hours of daylight. Enjoy your trip!
@@tiptopturkey thank you :)
You are welcome!😊
Aha! Good to know next time we go. I was wondering why everything was specified in so many currencies. Even historical spots entry fees! We didn't eat out in the touristy spots, and none of the lovely Turkish grannies of people in the mountains round antalya tried to scam us. Quite the contrary, it was such a lovely experience we are already planning our trip back. This time staying with the locals in the mountains ❤
Glad to hear that you had a good experience. Enjoy your next one! 😊
I love Bodrum Peninsula the most. Absolutely beautiful 😍
Indeed it is!
we just been there and stayed in the Club Porto Amore 5 mins from the airport on the coast if was Beautiful
Thanks for sharing your experience and it's good that you enjoyed your time
you should go to turkey for summer vacation only if you cant find a room in Greece. No comparison
Great insight. Question, are you saying the you should always pay in Turkish lira?
Glad you like it! Yes,it is better when getting the prices in Turkish Lira. When prices are in foreign currency and you have it so stick to it, as the exchange rate will not be in your favor.
Many of my friends who went turkey this year, said they will not go back as customer service is really bad and the cost is too expensive and according to them it’s more expensive than Dubai 🤷♂️
Yes, everything is getting expensive due to the high inflation. Hopefully, they will make changes to fight this price hike.
When converting Turkish price into Euro and US dollars, it's cheaper. However, it's not the price. You don't get the value for price. That's why you feel Turkey is more expensive. Visiting Turkey once is too much for me, personally. There are many more authentic destinations still. Worth the value.
You are right! But for us, Cappadocia is unique and it's the most beautiful in Turkey. Have you visited it?
There absolutely right I’m in Antalya now but living in Dubai for 8 years The quality of food is terrible and you can get better in Dubai cheaper and the fakes are no cheaper either you can get exactly the same stuff for a better price I’d never come back here
You are right about Dubai. There are still some good restaurants with good value and prices here but not all, unfortunately.
Hey thanks for your post, I have a genuine question.... My friend is gluten intolerant...
Do restaurants and supermarkets respect this allergy
Hi, glad you like it! There are many restaurants that serve gluten-free foods and you can definitely find gluten-free products at supermarkets. They are marked as "glutensiz" in Turkish.
But thank you for your info
👍👍👌
🙏🙏
I wanted to move to Antalya this year with my kid but after all this information i changed my mind , i prefer Dubai bcs the vost of rent is same😂 but at least very high quality in everything and very safe))
Wish I could move to Dubai with my son 😂
Hi, there is a big difference in the rent between Dubai and Antalya. For the same apartment size in Antalya for USD700 or 800, you will get it for around USD 2,000 to USD 2,500 in a good neighbourhood but not the best in Dubai. I agree the quality of life there is different, but Antalya also is considered a safe city.
I have been living in Istanbul for 1yrs and half so I know what you're talking about bro I want encourage you this people they don't like people who talk about their country their currency' avoid problems while you're there
I think hyperinflation must be the reason for the higher prices when you buy large quantities. Detergent for example: You could buy 5L today for 500lira. But if you buy 1L today for 100lira, 1L next week for 110lira, 1L next week for 120lira, 1L next week for 130, 1L next week for 140- that's 600lira for 5L. So the brands lose money by selling larger quantities.
Thanks for your input. But, while selling bigger quantities you are using less plastic per liter, so cost is less and time consumed by manufacture to fill 5 liters in bulk is much less than 1 liter. It is before the hyperinflation in Turkey, many times you find bigger items same price as buying 2 small items or more expensive.
Any thing good about travelling to Turkey yhese days??? Always pay in the local currency. Withdraw cash in the local currency at ATM, too. Don't expect European or American level of hospitality service. In fact, some hotels and restaurants are rude. It's safer to assume you eat Turkish food 90% of the time. Hardly any varieties of inyernatiinal cuisine. Ending up with shopping snacks in supermarkets is common.
You are right! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
hello please can you tell me how much should we tip the staff in the hotel resorts?
Medium chicken...😂 I'll hope I survive the holiday trip now. Thanks!
Enjoy your trip!😊
I got back from Antalya last night, the only thing that, the hotel was amazing, outside the hotel wasn't so great so we didn't explore as much as usual. One thing that I would warn against is that traders, restaurant owners etc will definitely try to rip you off.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately, this is the case with some people now but I can assure you that there are still some great people. One should just be more aware not to get scammed.
I'm going to Antayla Side in october I'll watch out for the exchange rate
👍 Hope you have a great time!
I am going next week Antalya booked in advance excursion Cappadocia 2 day trip without balloon 55£ is it expensive or it is fine?
Hi, I think it is not bad. So you should have 1 night at a hotel, is it included? The ride is about 6 hours plus from Antalya to Cappadocia one way.
🎉🎉💯
What happened to us today? I had Flate Tire and I called Mobile Tire shop. The first thing they did, they removed the tyre and told me the 🛞 tire is expired and to be scrapped. I was quite surprised for a minute because the car I rented from rent a car was almost zero meter. I asked them how much it’s going to cost me to replace the tire … so they picked up a used Tire and said 4500 Turkish Lira which is almost 158 euros. Quite shocking for me haha!
I insisted on repairing the existing one. They had to simply pluck the nails nail and do the patching …The tire boy said no it is not possible as it’s almost to go to scrap!
I CALLED POLICE 😂… the moment they came to know I’m calling police their tone changed. Everything changed and they agreed to repair the Tyre with 2000 Turkish lira ( still extremely high as normally it shouldn’t go beyond 200-400 Turkish lira at any shop. I paid them because it is a mobile shop and I didn’t want to waste our time….
Sorry to hear that! One of the worst scams! But well done from your side!
Why did you contact a mobile tyre shop instead of your car rental company, surely it’s their job to fix it for you or if not for them to authorise you to get the tyre repaired replaced?
I’ve rented cars in Turkey many times over the past 18 years and if I ever have any issues I call the rental company and they always resolve it.
I found the hygienic standard is not high in some restaurants a guy drying his sweats with his hands then give you your food.
or touching his tongue then give you a piece of bread !!!!
Yes, unfortunately. We had a similar issue once we received a dessert with a hair in it. So when we told them, they removed the hair and brought it back.
I wouldn’t say hospitality is great, been on 4 holidays in Turkey & gave soo much tips & extras to business owners/children’s on the streets, but not once I was even offered a free bottle of water in the shops or bazaar or by any taxi station after they’ve saw my kindness towards them/hard working Turkish people, I wouldn’t accept a free item but a kind gesture would’ve been appreciated at least once in my 4 visits :)
Lol hospitality is non existent. I dont get it. Why do people say it's so hospitable? Yeah if your pockets are full everyone is friendly 😅
Hi, sorry to hear that! Indeed, such things happen but there are still a lot of nice and hospitable people in Turkey. Many places still offer tea/cofee for free at the end of your meal. But I always say that standards of customer service should meet the expectations of the tourists more. They can absolutely make it much better with minimum effort.
Exactly Turkish are not hospital believe you can get ill and no one well help you with money or goods that you may need that's a lie if you got money they are there to steal it if you broke they are not there 😂
Turkey got expensive. I don't know about the services. But the increase in prices. Hope it will change.
Yes, it is getting more and more expensive, but the government now is trying to fight the inflation.
Thank u for lovely video
I have with. my wife 5 times before now we have 2 babies
We love Turkey but for us no more never again guys
This is not Turkey we loved
I'm a disabled person I need a taxi, especially with 2 kids no one wants stop to us unless we paid 400 or more never I paid now less than 400 and more and more
All areas now have 2 prices for Turkish and unTurkish this is not fair
I come here for treatment but unfortunately, we have to leave back because people's milk us Mooney leave it
Shame now we spent all our savings on taxi drivers here and some scams restaurant
Note: we meet lovely Turkish people majority are the best you can meet
Our dream was one day we move here but I think this dream has gone
We love u Turkey I hope you are back as you were
Advice for good Turkish people we love u we love your beautiful country you should stand against this theft and scam to save your home
Turkey doesn't deserve this bad name Turkey in our heart
I wish I'm a rich person to stay to treat my kids here because all here can find good treatment he will never forget this and who did this to us especially im disabled
I wish the president can read my comment
I love you guys
Glad you like our video! 😊 Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Unfortunately, some greedy people can make a trip unpleasant but as you said there are a lot of amazing Turkish people. Hope you get to visit Turkey again and have a pleasant time!
Yes, there are lots of negative or unpleasant reviews with bad experiences faced by tourists... not a good thing about turkey....if they don't improve their practices, they will lose tourists which contribute a lot to their economy.
I'm going to Alanya this week, so you are saying is better to use the Lira currency rather than the euro, Also people some saying that Alanya is known as good Night life, and Antalya is more like a family holiday?
Hi, bring foreign currency Euro, USD or GBP and exchange to Turkish Lira in Turkey. Both are suitable for families and for nightlife. If you want, check our video about Antalya nightlife.
Another great video, Can any one tell me where to buy good quality Turkish tea in UK?
Glad you liked our video! 👍
Hello sir
Please do you have any videos about resort in belek like beaches or transport
Hi, you can check this video, it might help you.
ruclips.net/video/Iq7KRb1Dn6Y/видео.html
Can anyone give some advice:
Visiting Turkey (Sarigerme, Dalaman) next month. Coming from Scotland, and the plan was to buy a little local currency before I go and bring English GBP and try to exchange it there - is this the best way to do it, or am I better off just buying it all before I go/use a travel card?
I figured I would get a better exchange rate whilst over there.
Hi, exchange a small amount in Scotland just to manage your arrival. Then bring GBP and exchange in Turkey, you will get a better rate.
@@tiptopturkey - thanks for the reply. 👍
You are welcome!😊
What Is best corency in Antalya Koleicy?Thank U
I’m from the USA I’ll be a solo traveller I’ll be headed there in January any advice on how much I should exchange before I head to Turkey
If you are coming to the center of Antalya 50 to 80 USD will be enough, then you can exchange in the market.
I'm traveling there soon with a girl who has high allergy to mustard tomatoes nuts & spices. Can you give me any advice on what to do? Do you think it's better to stay away from Turkish restaurants? Cause you scared me when you said they replace things without telling you. Also Turkish places cross contaminate the grill and use so much of those ingredients she has. Thank you. All comments welcome.
eating out is hard there.. they can drive me crazy by not getting it 😅😂😊 and at the grocery store you have to bag your own groceries 😁 that is different. 😊
We have just come bck from ocean spa resort and loved it
Good to hear! 😊
@@tiptopturkey already booked to go back in June
Nice! Hope you'll enjoy your next trip as well!
@@tiptopturkey I do have a question for u tho which is better to take to turkey euro or pounds or lira sorry if u have went over this
If you are based in UK, Pounds will be your best option. If coming from other EU countries, bring Euros. Definitely exchange in Turkey.
Euro seems to be the default currency in tourists area in Antalya. Eating out is also not cheap in the old town, with prices around 20€ per person, which is comparable to western europe!
Absolutely right! Euro is widely used in Antalya. Yes, food is not cheap anymore, especially in the touristic areas.
Love your videos. I am going to antalya in May. What currency should I bring for markets & replica shops in belek ??? Thanks
Glad you liked them! 😊 If items are priced in Euro, then use Euro and don't forget to bargain the price. Enjoy your trip!
@tiptopturkey thanks for replying. Sorry to be a pest. But does that mean everything is priced in euro. ? Does belek have best quality replica. ? Or do I need to go into antalya. ? Thanks
@schillachi247 Welcome! Yes, in Belek most of the stores they use Euro for pricing. You can find in all of Antalya, but quality differs from one store to another.
Thank you for excellent notes about the increase in prices in Turkey. I have also noticed that the Turkish people have changed since 2022. When they see a foreigner they immediately think that they can rip him off. The house services such as garden maintenance, pool cleaning etc. used to be fairly priced now they want to charge more than what a person pays in the UK. I understand that inflation is high but Turks need to understand that we can spend our vacation in many European countries that cost us a lot less than in Turkey. I believe the Turks will lose the tourism if this continues.
Glad you found it useful. Unfortunately, you are right. Some prices are super expensive even exceeding European prices.
The prices have gone crazy, we have been coming to Turkey 3 to 4 times a year since 2014. The prices have gone up a lot even if you take into account the inflation
100% true
we are coming back for turkey this year too(we were last year as well) although in an all inclusive resort again but we were exploring outside of the city and saw this rate difference inside bazaars too, a question: where do you recon to exchange cash from euro to turkish lira? we arrive at the anyalya airport and have transfer to our hotel but would like to have few hundreds of turkish lira for bazaaring and wandering around. Thanks for the nice informative videos really appreciative for people coming in Antalya 🫡
Hi, you can exchange at the bazaars entrances, malls or stand-alone exchange shops. Check the rates from one exchange shop to another. Also, try to withdraw a small amount from the Atm machine in TL and see how much is the rate and then compare it with the shops. Enjoy your trip!😊
Hi I am going to Antalya next month from the UK. I was hoping to just use my credit card at restaurants for excursions etc. Will this be okay or shall I convert some Turkish Lira in the uk before I come?
You can use your credit card. If you need cash, exchange in Türkiye you get much better rates than the UK.
Its better that you exchange to lira immediately to buy there instead of using cards ?
Great video 😊
I appreciate if you can help
Should you bring euros or lira if going to side thanks
Glad you liked it! Bring Euros then exchange in Side. Some shops in Side price their items in Euros nowadays. Enjoy your trip!
Thank you 😊 keep up the great videos
👍😊
Is paying in dolars always 20% more than in liras? I mean, not only in restaurants but also when we shop for clothes, jewels or cosmetics?
If so, where is the best to change dolars into liras in Turkey if you have only cash with you?
Hi, no, it is not the case always. The example we showed was in a restaurant where anyone could opt to pay in Turkish Lira instead. You will find many shops pricing in dollars or euros in the touristic area. In this case, you do the calculation for how much is their exchange rate if it is worth to pay in TL or no. You can exchange at many places, in malls, bazaars, or stand-alone exchange shops and check the best rate from one shop to another.
@@tiptopturkey thank you for such a fast answer. I love your vlogs, they are very helpful. This summer it will be my first time in your gorgous country. I hope I will love it the same as I love Albania to which we return every year. I would like to see all your country❤️❤️❤️
For the first time I planned Stambul and Capadocia❤️
Thank you very much! Great choice for the first trip. We are Lebanese living in Turkey. 😊
Hello, my sister will be travelling as a solo female traveller and will be staying in old town. Is there anything she should be wary of as a female solo traveller in particular? Does she exchange money in the UK first or did you say a better rate is given if exchanging in old town? Also, does she bring euros or gbp? Thank you!!
Hi, Antalya is a safe city. Although, someone should always be careful when travelling. She can exchange small amount in the UK just for the ease of movement when she reaches Turkey. Yes, she will get better rates in the Old Town and the shops around it. You can bring GBP or Euro, but if you want to exchange GBP to Euro, then there is no need. Just bring GBP and exchange. Hope she enjoys her trip!
Thank you very much!
You are welcome!😊
Antalya is very safe. If she rents a car and travels to mountains she will have an amazing trip. Can't recommend it enough
Can you use sterling £..?
Is it best to pay in Turkish lira only to not get scammed ? Thanks for sharing all
Hi, you are welcome! Yes, it is better when items are prices in Turkish Lira. If you find items priced in Euro or USD so better stick to it.
I found the waiters quite rude as well as greedy ,I got the bill in a cup and paid with Turkish lira with 4 x TL 200 note on a bill for a bill of TL 630 and waited for the change ,in the end I inquired where the change was and the waiter replied there was no change after tips ,I was incensed and asked for my change .The waiter did not deserve a tip because he was rude and unfriendly as well as greedy so I did not leave a tip .I would normally give a 15 % tip .But not to this waiter and would avoid this restaurant like the plague. Good customer service is half the pleasure and some restaurants look at tourists as blind cash machines .😢
Absolutely true. You did the right thing.
My wife end some. Outher family mamber are right now in turkey end there allready beang scammed toice
for food
Clothes
I don't understand it is so busy why do there have to be this way it's very sad..
Unfortunately, it is a bad experience. This is damaging the good reputation of tourism in Turkey. Hope your family will enjoy their time!
The prices are insane. Im from san diego one of the most touristic destinations in the u.s. and was shocked how expensive turkey is. A ten dollar burger in california better be a steak burger but in antalya you'll get the most disgusting excuse of a burger for like 15 dollars. Doesn't make sense. Greece is far cheaper and the quality of food is way way better
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Indeed, prices are expensive in Turkey now.
Burgers may be the national dish in Southern California but not in Turkey.
Would it be reasonable for someone from Turkey to compare the quality of a Meze from a Turkish restaurant in San Diego to one in Antalya?
@sultanoftippoo3857 American food shts all over turkish food especially in San Diego because of how diverse it is. In the 3 months I was there I didn't have any food that was actually tasty. On top of the food not being tasty it was expensive. Turkey is way way over-rated. Let alone the rude treatment you get if you're brown but if you're white your basically God. It's not a good place to visit honestly
well done
Thank you!
You will be scammed and ripped off in Turkey, there is no way of avoiding it. Just try to minimise the damage
Hi, in all the world, there are scammers. Everyone must be aware and not let them ruin your trip. Regardless of scammers, there are still many nice and trustworthy people in Turkey.
Im going on my very very very 1st holiday abroad in 3 months time to turkey in antalya wat is the best currency to use as ive never done this b4 as in using lira or euros im use to my very own GBP i just cant waut to get there myself wife n kids its going to a very 1st ever holiday to turkey
Hi, if it is priced in Turkish Lira then pay in Turkish Lira. Exchange in Turkey you get better rates than UK. You can also pay in GBP if it is priced in Euro, it is widely accepted.
Thank you so much, but its not a problem to pay in euro in low cost, this people have a life and family too.
Hi, you are welcome! I also like to help and give tips, but I don't like to be scammed or fooled. The extra money from the exchange rate difference is going to the restaurant owners and not the employees who are working 11 hours daily.
turkey is becoming much more expensive than Europe for a lot of stuff. I'm going to antalya again tomorrow and I'm sure everything is more expensive since my last trip 5 months ago
Yes, you will be surprised.😊
Hello, I am looking to come to Antalya Lara beach, I hope to buy some watches and fake clothing however will they accept lira? I’ve seen euro signs and heard they will refuse lira, I can’t imagine they would but can you confirm I can bring lira and be able to buy these goods without problems. Thanks ☺️
If this is happening than Turkish government should clamp down hard with huge fines.
As it will ruin the countries reputation as a tourist destination.
Indeed
I just returned from Turkey. First and last time. Poor service, RUDE PEOPLE RIPPING EVERYONE OFF.
Many better places to visit!!
Hi, sorry to hear that! You might encounter such things, but there are still a lot of nice and respectful people.
I couldnt agree more!Came back yesterday,never again!
