TL;DR
Exchanging old-series US dollar bills in Antalya can be tricky — many exchange offices and banks refuse them or offer a much lower rate; check specific offices in Kemer/Göynük and Konyaaltı by phone before going, since acceptance varies.
As of late July, travelers reported that exchanging old-style dollar bills in Antalya is still hit-or-miss — not all downtown exchange offices accept old-series notes, and the rate offered is often lower than standard.
In the Konyaaltı district, travelers were looking for exchange offices offering a good rate specifically for old dollar notes — it's recommended to call several offices ahead, as terms vary a lot between them.
Travelers also asked about exchanging lira for dollars around Kemer, Göynük and nearby Antalya suburbs — it's worth comparing rates across a few exchange points, since tourist-area rates can differ from those in the city center.
