Yes, staying at a luxury hotel in Istanbul and touring all the well-known landmarks will cost some lira, Turkey can still be experienced on a budget. Simply avoid the touristy restaurants in favor of good street food vendors and eateries patronized by residents. Visit such free or inexpensive attractions as Hagia Sophia, Cappadocia, and the Grand Bazaar. Speak to the locals and try to live a bit like they do.
