Turkey will be cheaper

[geovil]

The way things are going in the UK at the moment Turkey will be cheaper than ever this year,the way prices are going up here everything you look at in the shops has increased dramatically over the last couple of weeks, since the budget prices are going higher and higher,a lot of people who usually holiday in the UK will be looking to go abroad this year as it is getting more and more expensive to live here never mind holiday here,and you can bet the interest rate is going to start going up again .

George I have just had a weekend away at Bowness in the Lake District and a pint was on average £3.00

Crazy I know but I find out what the price of beer is in the resorts then I can get an idea of all the other stuff.

Average meal in the area was £15 per person unless you wanted to pay £6 for fish and chips every day

i had a pint of guiness in 'The old father thames' pub in london last week.....£4.70!

mind you, it was served on a napkin

[robert123]

It does all depend I can get a pint for £2.20 here, I am sure Turkey has been subject to the same inflationary pressures (price of wheat & oil in particular) that the rest of the world has been suffering

[stevo3]

yes turkey is cheaper.but like all places it will get dearer.but my most worry is when they go euro,i think prices will rocket,and that could be only bad for turkey,at the moment turkey run there own affairs,thats how it should be not some prats in brussles.telling them they cant do this anymore or cant sell that anymore.

I paid £9.48 for 2 vodka and tonics in a bar here in Edinburgh and it was'nt even bottled tonic

[JT]

Euro is a long long way off even if they decide to enter and are accepted.

I paid 12 euro a few weeks ago in "CHEAP" hahahaha no way Benidorm for a vodka tonic with a no name bottle of tonic and a Southern Comfort and no name lemonade whci worked out at just on £10

I recently returned from Fuengirola and found the prices there to be considerably cheaper than Turkey and the UK. Now I dont know if this was because it was off season or not, but a pint was 2/2.5 euro and a four course set meal only 6 euro. These were not one off prices many places had similar prices.
The main problem now is actually getting to Turkey, accomadation is very well priced its just the flights which still seem very high, in comparison to other areas and even last year

Off season prices for food, I have always found Turkey a lot cheaper than Spain

[salford_steve]

Admin can you tell me what the prices were like in Benidorm we are going in 3 weeks, and was wondering what general prices are like as trying to save my money for my main hol to icmeler in june.

If you dont mind sitting in a bar with smokers all around you packed in and a telly in the corner you can find a pint for 1 euro.

It tastes like crap though and if you want to go and see any acts in bar street then it will cost you.

I did sit on a beach bar Sunday afternoon and had a nice relax with a decent pint and it was 3 euro

[geovil]

If you look around in Benidorm you can find decent bars with decent prices, and Spain has done what this country should have done from the start and that is have smoking bars and non smoking bars,it happened in Spain in 2005 almost shut down a lot of the bars until the industry gave the government an ultimatum and they changed the rules.

Sorry George but all changed now mate.

I walked from Levante end at top of hill to Benidorm old town and through all the back streets and never saw one bar that was non smoking.

I did see a few places where it said no smoking this side and that was because people were eating there but you could touch the table from the smoking side.

With regard to the economic situation in Turkey very good article in todays online Telegraph, It's headline is about Iceland but it lumps Turkey and few other countries together

[salford_steve]
