Scams to watch for in Türkiye
- Tourist prices and hidden chargesYou order or buy something without checking the price. The seller then charges much more than expected. Tourists may be charged five to ten times the usual price, even for tea. High opening prices are also common at street markets.
- Wrong changeThe seller or driver returns less change than you are owed. The trick relies on you being distracted or unfamiliar with the money.
- Claiming you paid with a smaller noteYou hand over a large note. The person claims you gave a smaller one and asks for more money. A taxi driver may quickly swap your note for a smaller note.
