FAQ About Holidays In Turkey

Yes, credit cards are widely accepted in Turkey, especially in major cities, tourist areas, and larger establishments such as hotels, restaurants, and shops. International credit cards like Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are commonly used and accepted.

However, it's important to note that while credit cards are widely accepted, there may still be some smaller establishments, local markets, or rural areas where cash is preferred. It's a good idea to carry some Turkish lira for these situations.

Additionally, inform your credit card company or bank of your travel plans to Turkey to avoid any potential issues with card usage. Some banks may have security measures in place that could block transactions in a foreign country if they are not aware of your travel plans.

It's also recommended to keep an eye on your credit card statements and exercise caution when using credit cards to protect against any potential fraud or unauthorized charges, as is the case when traveling to any destination.
