- Always carry cash in Turkish Lira for small purchases and tipping, as many local establishments and taxis do not accept credit card tips.
- When dining, it is customary to share several meze plates as a group rather than ordering individual main courses immediately.
- In restaurants, a 10% cash tip is standard practice and should be handed directly to the server or placed in a tip box.
