Has anyone experienced double conversion when paying with a card in Turkey? Can this be avoided?
For example, in Cyprus, in the market (albeit a large one), we were asked before paying what currency the card was in, so that we could avoid double conversion.

a card in euro currency and pay for goods in Turkey with this card - there is no double conversion, they are withdrawn at the euro lira rate
In the currency of the US dollar, there may be a conversion of the lira to the cross rate dollar / euro

Turkey does not yet belong to the Eurozone, so there will be a double conversion for any currency on the card.
The only way to avoid this is with a Turkish Lira card.

The king, as usual, is not real.
Double conversion is there whether you want it or not.
I repeat once again especially for the nobles: Turkey is not a member of the European Union. The official payment unit is the lira, not the euro.
And so, just in case. I work in a bank, so don't tell me here. This is not a royal business.

If the account is in hryvnia, then in any case there will be double conversion through cross-rates to euro or dollar, depending on the type of payment system.
In Cyprus, you also had a conversion. The fact that you were shown the amount in the account currency on the terminal does not mean anything. The seller still received his proceeds in euros, and not in hryvnias.

Bank employees are many respected professions, including security guards, cleaners, drivers, call center workers, collectors, and so on.
I also had to consult with specialists from UkrSib and ING banks which cards are better to use in order to reduce costs, because there was a need not to rest like most 7 days, but to stay in Turkey for a much longer time
According to the experience of use, if the card is in the euro currency and the US dollar, there is no double conversion.

Let the bank employee explain the principle of double conversion:
Migros supermarket and made purchases for 600 lira and paid with a MasterCard in euro currency
paid for car rental services 500 lira with a Visa card in US dollar currency
