How it works
Card skimming devices have been reported on ATMs in Antalya's tourist zones, particularly in the Old City (Kaleiçi) and along the beachfront. Criminals attach thin overlay keypads or camera modules to capture your PIN alongside card data. Some ATMs near the bazaar area are not affiliated with major banks and charge hidden withdrawal fees on top of skimming risk.
How it works
Unlicensed exchange offices and market vendors near the Kaleiçi bazaar and along Cumhuriyet Caddesi offer exchange rates that appear slightly better than banks but short-change customers through fast counting, folded notes, or switching denominations after the count. Some operators use rate boards that list a competitive rate but apply a hidden commission that only appears on a printed receipt handed over after the transaction is complete.
