Use ATMs from major banks like Ziraat or İşbank for the best rates; avoid airport exchange kiosks and tourist-area bureaux near the old town.
Cards work in most hotels, supermarkets, and chain restaurants. Cash is still king at local markets and small eateries; contactless is common in mid-range places.
Round up the bill or leave 5–10% at restaurants; small change for taxis (no percentage expected); tip hotel staff a few lira for carrying bags.

Head to the market streets near the Manavgat river bridge for simit, gözleme, and cheap midye dolma stalls.
BİM and A101 are the budget supermarket chains; Şok is also common.
The weekly Wednesday market (Manavgat Pazarı) for good-value clothes; also the shops along the main drag towards the mosque.
