Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostI'm off to turkey on Monday. Has anybody been there recently? How much are the important things in life out there like beer and food? I've heard things have got more expensive over that last few years.
It used to be quieter than Marmaris, now it's just smaller...
The credit crunch has hit tourism hard, it probably won't be as much of a seething cauldron of bare flesh as it was last year.
You'll need to be cloth-eared to avoid the "hallo my friend, come into my bar" from every waiter you pass by. Smile and keep walking.
The first time you go to a little off-the-beaten track it will be idyllic, the next time you go you will either have 2 waiters fighting over you or your meal will cost you 3 times the amount it did the first time you went....
The weather will be excellent and if you spend around £40 you won't be able to tell the fake watches from the real thing. Beer and food won't be much less than you pay here.
Basically you won't recognise the place if you went there 10 years ago...
