Thanks Gene, I seem to remember you went about the same time as me in june, we go again next sunday would you say the prices are about the same as last time, cheaper or more expensive as from previous experience prices do differ from month to month. More importantly HOW MUCH IS THE EFFES.

Hi Andy, the price of Efes Has come down in quiet a few bars since May.
Buffalo Bar,glass of skol in ice cold glass,1ytl large bottle Efes 2ytl.
My Baby Cafe Bar, large bottle Carlsburg £1

There are a lot of Bars charging 2 ytl for large Efes but expect to pay in the bars that put on entertainment from 3ytl to 3.5 ytl.
The Kapisi and Harmony bars were charging 4ytl thats £1.70 so still ok.
Soft drinks are dearer small 2ytl large 5ytl or even dearer in some bars.

Certainly cheaper then Gene, thanks for that.
P.S Isn't it depressing when you come back for the last time this year, 6 months to wait till the next holiday, fortunately i won't have that feeling for 3 months more.

Got back last Sunday 26/9 after 25 hour delay (but that's for another post!!) and the exchange rate was 2.35 at change offices and shops.

Plenty of bars around back of Alinda/near eastenders where Efes is 2YTL, though My Baby had it at 1.75
