TL;DR
Yes, Migros supermarkets in Antalya often accept cash euros/dollars, but it's best for small purchases (ice cream, alcohol, or just to get lira for the dolmuş) — change is given in lira at a rate around 43.3 per euro, sometimes with a short wait.
What the community said
Two weeks ago, a Migros store gave change in lira at a rate of about 43.3 per euro — a handy way to get some lira for local transport like the dolmuş minibus to Kemer or Antalya city.

Cash euros or dollars are accepted almost everywhere at Migros, but don't expect to use it for large purchases (like getting change from a single €10 bill) — you might have to wait a bit for change, though the bills themselves are never questioned.

Not all Migros cashiers are happy to accept foreign cash — some may refuse or seem suspicious, especially if a payment doesn't go through the first time, so it's worth carrying some lira as a backup.
