Gulet Cruises on the Turquoise Coast: A Lira Guide

A few nights on a traditional gulet, sailing between coves along Turkey's Turquoise Coast, is one of the country's great experiences. The cruise is booked in advance, but life on and off the boat still wants cash, so buy Turkish lira before you fly through a commission-free provider such as Travel FX.

On-board extras

Drinks from the boat bar, crew tips at the end of the voyage and the odd water-sports session are settled in cash by long custom.

Harbour evenings

When the boat moors at Kas or Kalkan for the evening, harbourside restaurants, gelato stands and boutique shopping are simplest in lira.
