There is a bit of chat in the other place about bars, restaurant, shops etc. not accepting cash these days.
I know dolmus drivers are not taking cash but what are members recent experiences of bars, restaurants etc.
-
I’ve been asking the same question for when we travel in a couple of weeks. Not first hand experience but Abu from Bambu says card or cash and so does a regular visitor who is there at the moment. I’m usually cash so will be interesting to read other replies.
-
The only thing I've heard is that old £20 notes aren't being accepted. Businesses are insisting on the new plastic ones.
-
The restaurants, bars & supermarkets I've been in recently are all taking cash
-
Cash no problem anywhere I've been, I normally only use card in supermarkets but they also take cash.
-
Yes restaurants taking cash or cards.
-
Thanks for the info everyone ;)
-
We'll be accepting cash or cards as usual once we open.
I didn't know about the old £20 notes though. Presumably the banks here are accepting the old ones! Does anyone know?

Hi Nichola, do you have a planned opening date?
-
Hi Richard, yes confirmed just this afternoon that we will open next week
Our bar and Eyna hotel reopens - 12 noon Wednesday 15th July - because we have guests earlier than we expected
MOTIF restaurant will reopen - 12 noon Friday 17th July.
Normally we don't but this year we will take reservations for the restaurant in the evenings.
It is incredibly hard to plan and know what to do at the moment (Çalış has been deathly quiet) so we don't have a full staff team yet, a smaller menu for now, although we will accommodate any particular requests if we can or are given notice if someone wants something that's currently not on the temporary menu, and we will, if we see the potential step things up accordingly.

Nichols, that’s great news! Hope all goes well with opening and we’ll definitely be looking to make a reservation when we arrive in a couple of weeks time.
-
Fantastic news Nichola. We will definitely be coming to see you when we arrive in late August.
Good to hear all bars and restaurant's are taking both cash & card.
-
Yes we will also be making a Reservation when we are there the 1st of August and we hope to see you Nichola :)
-
I'll definitely be there Tosh Tosh as I will be the one and only waiter - no arriving for evenings only this year - Dogan will also be around but he'll have to do the bar and any take orders from any Turkish customers we have.
It does feel quite positive all of a sudden with a surge in hotel bookings and table reservations - although I'm not sure it will actually be essential to book tables I'll have a better feel for it once we are open.
We are looking forward to getting back to work and I just hope the next three months are good for us and all our neighbours along the prom too.

The Bank of England haven't announced a date when the old paper notes will cease to be legal tender. When they do, it'll be 6 months ahead.
