Where to exchange USD for Turkish lira in Side, Turkey?

One traveler noted that guides usually don't offer the best exchange rate, and suggested exchanging money at Waikiki instead, where the rate was good.

A tour guide offered to exchange $100 for 4500 TL (rate ~45), but a traveler felt this rate was too low — worth checking the current market rate before exchanging through guides.

Travelers frequently look for currency exchange points near their hotel, indicating exchange offices are spread throughout Side rather than concentrated in one spot.

There's demand for currency exchange specifically within Side itself, with travelers asking whether they need to go to nearby towns or can exchange locally.

Travelers also ask about the current lira-to-dollar exchange rate before exchanging, highlighting the importance of checking rates beforehand since they fluctuate.
