Currency of Northern Cyprus

The official currency of Northern Cyprus is the Turkish Lira (TRY). The island's economy is closely tied to that of Turkey, so the Turkish Lira is the most common and widely accepted currency in Northern Cyprus.

However, euros and US dollars can also be found and are accepted in some places, especially in tourist zones and hotels. In this case, the exchange rate for cash may differ from the exchange rate for bank transactions.

In any case, before traveling to Northern Cyprus, it is recommended to check the exchange rate and exchange money for local currency for ease of transactions. It is also worth noting that credit cards are not accepted in most shops and establishments in Northern Cyprus, so it is better to have cash with you.
