Local tips

- Always carry small amounts of Turkish Lira in cash, as most restaurants do not allow adding tips to credit card payments and street vendors rarely accept cards.
- When dining out, a tip of 5–10% is customary for good service and should be left in cash on the table or in the bill folder.
- Use ride-hailing apps like BiTaksi or Uber to ensure the taximeter is used and to avoid common street taxi overcharging scams.
