Anti-American diatribes aside, euros are the preferred foreign currency in Istanbul. Undoubtedly there are many small business owners who appreciate payments in euros as opposed to the steadily devaluing lira. However, if you're not good at math, it's easy to get short-changed with these kind of transactions.
During my one-night stay, I did not encounter any dishonesty from the businessmen of Istanbul. They were all very solicitous and appreciative of a foreign customer. Polar opposite of Poland, where everybody treats a foreign customer like a nuisance.
