TL;DR
For amounts under $1,000, travelers say the nearest exchange office is usually fine because the rate difference is small. For larger amounts, better rates were reported behind MarkAntalya near the Clock Tower; older $50 bills may be refused, and in TerraCity they were exchanged only at a 4th-floor office at a poor rate.
At TerraCity, older $100 bills were accepted, but most exchange counters refused older $50 bills. The only successful exchange was at the office on the 4th floor, but at a noticeably worse rate.
If you are exchanging less than $1,000, the practical advice is to use any nearby exchange office close to your hotel or apartment rather than spending time chasing a slightly better rate.
For larger amounts, travelers recommend the exchange offices behind MarkAntalya, near the Clock Tower, where the rates are said to be better.
If you are staying near Marvida and need to exchange dollars nearby, no specific exchange office was named in the messages, but the general advice was that any local exchange counter is fine for small amounts.
