Different climates can be found throughout Turkey, depending on the season and whether you travel to the coast or inland. In general, the interior has a continental climate system, which means cold winters and dry summers. Meanwhile, along the southern shores, winters are mild and rainy, and summers are hot and humid. As a result, you should pack appropriately depending on the season, the destinations you’ll be visiting, and the length of your trip. In any case, try to pack light so you can move around comfortably and have room in your luggage to buy Turkish handicrafts or souvenirs.
Turkey’s official currency is the Turkish Lira, abbreviated as TL, TRL, or TRY.

If you bring US dollars, Euros, or British pounds, you can exchange them for TL at any exchange office, bank, or major hotel. The best conversion rates are available at the city centre exchange offices. You can also use your credit card at many restaurants, shops, hotels, museums, and other locations.

We speak Turkish in Turkey. People can speak English in major cities, tourist resorts and towns, shopping malls, and, of course, hotels, museums, and tourist attractions. You’re not going to have a philosophical conversation, so you can get by with some basic conversation. I also recommend learning a few basic phrases in the local language or using Google Translate. Even a few words or a pleasant greeting in Turkish can assist you in communicating with a local who does not speak your language.
