What the community said
Hotel reception exchanges currency for lira, but the rate is poor. Local village exchange offices near hotels are even worse. Novamall shopping center offers a slightly better rate, still not great. Manavgat has the best exchange rate.

Currency of any kind can be exchanged through an Anex tour agency guide. Nearby, a boat departs daily from 9:00 to 16:00 to Alanya, so you can combine the currency exchange with a boat trip.

Currency exchange offices in Alanya accept even old, worn-out dollar bills (for example, banknotes printed in 1996) without hassle and without extra commission — unlike Manavgat, where they're stricter about bill condition.
