Where to exchange currency (USD, EUR) to Turkish lira in Antalya?

From messages by 6 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 27 days ago

TL;DR

Exchange currency at local exchange offices (döviz bürosu) in Antalya rather than at the airport or hotel for better rates. Both USD and EUR are widely accepted.

What the community said

An exchange office near the Clock Tower in central Antalya is recommended for having one of the better exchange rates.

Several exchange offices are located in central Antalya on the stretch between MarkAntalya mall and Kaleiçi old town. A quoted benchmark rate was about 47–47.25 lira per US dollar; it is also worth comparing their euro rates there.

Never exchange currency at the airport — the rate is always bad. Use any local exchange office, but watch out: some may try to sneak in an extra exchange commission that shouldn't apply.

Watch for hidden commission fees

If you're arriving with USD and considering converting to EUR or lira, do it in the city rather than at the airport. Local exchange offices offer significantly better rates than airport counters.

City exchange offices (döviz bürosu)

In the Konyaaltı district, exchange offices are located along the main street. It's worth comparing rates at a few places before exchanging.

For those staying in the Kundu area: avoid exchanging at the hotel. Head to a nearby city exchange office or shopping center for a better rate.

In the Lara district, exchange offices on Lara Caddesi or inside local shopping malls offer decent rates — better than the airport.

Exchanging USD to EUR in Antalya is possible but involves double conversion fees. It's more efficient to exchange directly to Turkish lira from whichever currency you have.

Tip: convert directly to lira

The Kaleiçi old town area and Atatürk Caddesi in central Antalya have a high concentration of exchange offices with competitive rates — a reliable spot for USD or EUR to lira.
