Dalaman Region Guide: Lira for Dalyan, Gocek and Beyond

Flights to Dalaman open up a stretch of coast that includes Dalyan's river turtles, Gocek's bays and Sarigerme's long sands. It is a region of small operators and family businesses, which means cash. Buy Turkish lira before you travel with a commission-free provider such as Travel FX.

River boats and mud baths

Dalyan's boat co-operative, the famous mud baths and riverside fish restaurants work in lira, as do the boats that ferry you to Iztuzu beach.

Quieter resorts, fewer machines

Smaller villages have limited ATMs, and those available charge foreign card fees, so a float from home is the comfortable choice.
