@@ob5671 it looks like it can be a bit wild 🤪 it was a bit too hot for us & the little one near enough passed out with the heat just after this video.

[@barrybarnett731]

Got back a week ago prices have gone ridiculous in only one year I spoke to lots of people who have said they would only go again if it was all inclusive, restaurants and bars eventually will start to suffer , no wonder Greece is attracting more tourists this year

[@stedeetiag]

it was certainly more expensive than the last time we went to turkey. we were in one bar & the barman said it was about 1/3rd quieter than it was the same time last year & he couldnt understand why? A woman said to him, its because people have heard that the prices have gone up.

[@EDOUARDSIQUET]

@@stedeetiag Everywhere the same! Prices have gone up

[@davidwallace962]

Hi the price's have gone through the roof and will go up again before the end of the season. We're going back out again for anther six weeks. we have an appartment the prices in the super markets are up by 50% this year but everyone we speak to That are not in all-inclusive said they didn't realise how much the price's have gone up have a fantastic time

@@davidwallace962 I’m not a fan of all inclusive - having set times for meals etc. but on this occasion, it may have been the better option. It’s our second time to Turkey & I said I’d not be back, but I think we will in a couple of years when it’s all hopefully settled down. Thanks for watching & for the comment 👍

@@stedeetiag Is it so expensive this year?

[@stedeetiag]

@@EDOUARDSIQUET we found it fairly expensive, day trips were reasonably priced, clothes not too bad - but still a little more expensive than before. Food was expensive for the quality of food & the drinks were expensive- we were paying around £10 / 400TL for “buy one get one free” cocktails/vodka coke, but the quality of the cocktails in the majority of the bars was poor. Beers, 120-200TL for effes bottles, some places buy one get one free, others not. We just got on with it because we were on holiday after all, however, just be mindful - we had a couple of occasions were they brought extra drinks to our table, we asked for the bill immediately to ensure they’d not added them to our bill.

@@stedeetiag Dirt Cheap holidays in Turkey are gone for good

[@chrisjenkins5846]

I go for 2 weeks in a months time ...are the prices on everything really that bad ?

[@stedeetiag]

You can still find cheap things if you shop around, we went to the lively bars though & they were charging around 200-230TL for a 330ml bottle of Heineken - I couldn’t take to the effes, cocktails / vodka coke were around 400TL, spirits were buy one get one free but the local drinks not great quality. Branded / Smirnoff, not buy one get one free was around 700-800TL. Food - all depends on what you want but we found it over priced for the quality of food received - we ate at different restaurants each night. The boat trip was cheap, I think we paid £35 each for all inclusive - included a meal and unlimited alcoholic drinks for the duration (10:30am - 4pm) - we soon got the monies worth onboard the boat! All depends on what you’re after - super market prices were reasonable.
