It remains, however, much cheaper than most of Europe and there are always bargains to be had on accommodation. ATMs are to be found in most large towns and accept all major cards. Dollars and Euros are fairly easy to change and are a much better option than travellers cheques which can be hard to change.

Language:

Turkish is the official language though given the large number of tourists that pass through this part of the country annually, English is fairly widely spoken.

Dialling codes:

The national dialling code for Turkey is +90 and the area code is 252.

Entry:

Visas are required for all UK citizens entering Turkey. However, these are available on arrival in the country at a cost of £10, payable in Sterling.
