prices?

[azzagazza]

Hiya! A friend of a friend has just came back from Marmaris and said it's was very expensive!!!??? Does anyone know what the prices are like in Icmeler this year, we found it very reasonable last year.

[Roseanns1]

3lira for an efes
5-6 lira for a full breakfast
meals at night 14 lira depending on what you are looking for!!
we thought it was still very reasonable.

[dave-shep]

still a lot cheaper than the UK

What was expensive in Marmaris? and what were the prices they were charging

[Glen]

I think alot of people still think you can still go to Turkey and live it up for next to nothing like years ago. While those days have gone there are several threads on here which will tell you that prices are much the same as last year and they were very reasonable compared to the UK or any of the 'eurozone' countries. As long as you go not expecting too much you should still be pleasantly surprised!
8 days and counting!!

So in sterling, that is roughly (at the current exchange rate);

1.30
2.50
6.00

That looks more than reasonable to me

Yeah they sound like the same prices as last year..

Im just back. Found the prices have gone up in Tansas. Price of beer between 3 lira and 5 lira, vodka and coke between 5 lira and 7 and a half lira. Hairdressing and pedicures etc all gone up, Fruit in market about i lira for a kilo of fruit and 2 and a half lira for a good slab of their cheese. 75 for one of their white loaves in tansas and dearer in the other smaler shops. And they even threatened to cut my electric off beause i owed them 10 lira! Dolmus 2 lira into marmaris and taxi back from marmaris after midnight was 32 lira!

We didn't find it any more expensive than last year and if you look around you can find some quite cheap meals especially up in the old village. Up near the Faber there is a place doing a set meal for 10 lira and even near the main drag think it was near Wonderboys can't remember the name just across the road they were doing 3 courses for 17 lira and a cheap night is Nefis Pide for Turkish Pides, we had 2 turkish pides and a bowl of mixed salad for 14 lira, they dont sell drinks though but ideal if you go early and then out for drinks afterwards.

We came back last week - Blondies bar are doing a 'Any 3 courses for 21.90' including steaks and the food was delicious.

[Sue]

went to the kardelin

2 pides, 1 salad, 1 ayran, 1 fanta and 1 tahinni for 24 lira bargain

We flew back on Sunday night.

No problem taking liquids and food into Dalaman. As already said prices still very high at Dalaman. I have to say there was a rather large queue at McDonalds. Many people are paying the high prices and whilst that is happening the prices will not come down. People weren't just buying a drink from there or a portion of fries they were buying full meals and for up to 4 people at a time.

Prices in Marmaris and Icmeler we found roughly the same as last year.

A friend of mine has just come back from Majorca and they had two portions of chips with mushy peas to take away and they were charged 9 euro.

Compared with Majorca Icmeler and Marmaris are very cheap.

The prices do seem rather expensive but when you are faced with a wait in the terminal, followed by a 4hr+ flight with only an inflight meal to fill you - people will pay the extra for some food or drink.
