Pamukkale and Ephesus: Cash for Turkey's Great Sights

The travertine terraces of Pamukkale and the marble streets of Ephesus are the twin highlights of any western Turkey itinerary. Reaching and enjoying them is smoother with notes in hand, so buy Turkish lira in advance from a commission-free provider such as Travel FX.

Entry fees and extras

Site entrances, audio guides, sun hats from the gate stalls and fresh orange juice in the heat are all easier in lira. Local guides at the gates generally quote cash prices.

Getting there

Intercity buses, dolmus connections from Selcuk and Denizli, and left-luggage counters at stations are cash-first services, and roadside fruit stands along the way certainly are.

History without hassle
