If you don't want to get ripped off, you have to use YTL. In most places though you can only use YTL.

Quoting summi: many tourist use € and $ and ytl together |
When you pay with dollars or euros, prices will almost always be rounded off upwards.

Exactly! You also have no idea what exchange rate they are using!

I also used sterling, and I asked for the calculator and worked out my exchange rate at the best one I had seen in the town! Which incidentally was better than the one I had got in the UK.

Aha! Canny lady 
However, I do like to use local currency wherever I travel. It seems a bit arrogant to expect everyone to accept sterling, dollars or euros.
European visitors to the UK are the same. They find it strange that its hard to use Euros, but ITS NOT OUR CURRENCY!

I always take enough ytl to see me though the first day and then i exchange sterling there because you nomally get a better rate.Also where i go the shopkeepers like you to pay in pound sterling because they themselves get a better rate at the bank.

I used sterling to pay for my paragliding because they asked for it, not because I wanted to!!!!! Like that, they can exchange it whenever the rate is good. I use YTL the rest of the time - but I can guarantee that they LOVE sterling in the resorts!!!!!!
