What it costs
Biggest line: stay, at up to €570. If the total is uncomfortable, that is the one to attack first.
One swap that saves real money: moving from mid beds in a central district to the same tier in Kadıköy saves roughly €210 over 3 nights, at the cost of a ferry ride each day.
You will pay in lira. Euro figures are for comparison only, converted at €1 ≈ ₺47 unverified placeholder rate. In production this is a build-time snapshot with the date shown.
