Cash or card in Istanbul?

I will be visiting Istanbul after Greece next month, I wonder if credit cards (visa/MasterCard )widely accepted or do I need to prepare cash in advance? Also do I need to convert into turkish lira or is euro widely used or preferred?

Also are money exchangers better or I draw directly from ATM (will they charge hefty fees like some countries)

Thanks.

Transportation between Pylos and Methoni

We will have a cruise stop at Pylos for a day in mid Sep and we would like tocheck out the Methoni Castle, I have been told there will be buses from Pylos to Methoni but I couldn't find the bus schedule. https://www.ktelmessinias.gr/en/homepage-en/ has been down for many days (from my side) so does anyone know where else I can find the schedule?

 

Also is it easy to catch a taxi in Pylos and Methoni and I guess it shouldn't be too expensive? Will Uber or freenow work there?

What we don't want is to get stranded in Methoni and can't get back to the ship on time.

 Thanks.

New to explora journeys I have questions on referral

Hi I am about to book my first cruise with explora journeys and I have read that there is a referral program. Assuming I can find a referral link, does it give me 200 EUR off my first cruise? I have asked my TA to reserve a booking for me (but have not paid) so I wonder if I can still use this?

Also I have created an account in Explora journeys, does it mean it is too late to enjoy the offer?

I wonder if I use my account and send the referral for my wife account? I wonder if that works? (just to add that we will be travelling together)
