TL;DR
A convenient option is to pay in dollars at a Migros supermarket and receive change in Turkish lira, which is then more cost-effective for pharmacies and local minibuses. Hotel guides may also help with exchange.
At a Migros supermarket near the hotel, you can pay in dollars and receive change in Turkish lira. This is a practical way to get local currency, which is more cost-effective for pharmacies and local minibuses (dolmuş).
Currency exchange can be arranged through the hotel guide. Ask at the hotel reception for assistance.
Currency exchange may be available at the hotel itself — check with reception. There is also a pharmacy near the hotel (up and to the right), where having lira on hand is useful.
