How to avoid high season prices in Turkey?

Tourists should deal in the Turkish lira and avoid places where goods and products are sold in foreign currencies, such as restaurants, shops, and others.

If the prices are not obviously visible on a price list, then make sure to ask the price of each item you plan to consume to not be faced with any unpleasant surprises later.

Before buying any product, you should ask about its price in more than one store and do not be shy to bargain.

Moreover, make sure to check the bill and review the accountant, in case you discover an error in the account.

Furthermore, ask about the service and kuver charge. It is worth noting that according to the Turkish Language Association, the word “kuver” refers to the table cloths used at restaurants. Thus, a cover charge literally refers to the silverware, spices and condiments that adorn a table.

Taxis are more expensive in tourist areas, so you must make sure to ask the price for a ride and strike a deal with the driver of any taxi before you board. It is also always best to hire a taxi from a taxi stand by phoning one in or going to one directly.

Additionally, make sure to ask the cost of a sunbed first before you settle down to begin tanning.
