Hi marmaris is quite cheap for eating out. We usualy go in May and again in October. At that time of year we can get a 3-4 course meal for about £6.00. If you have never been before one of the many boat trips is a must. The all inclusive ones that give you Turkish breakfast {bread jam olives etc} lunch and all your drinks soft, alcoholic tea or coffee is about £10 each and realy good value. There are many lovely resturants to choose from.
If you want any more info just ask.
Enjoy your holiday

Could you give us a breakdown on that price Imp? what sort of grub is that then?

I would say you'd be looking at around £5-6 for the main course depending on what you choose (and the exchange rate at the time). This is more or less what we were paying when we there in May.

Mick, there is a great Irish bar near the point centre in Marmaris called Tiernas. It's easy to find and you'll love it. Put a search in google and you'll find it. When in August are you going? We will be there on the 27th.

Just got back as a rough guide here are the prices I found. These are average, if you walk about you will find cheaper /more expensive

Efes 3.5YTL
small coke 2.5 YTL
Can of coke 1.5YTL
small bott water 0.75 ytl
bread 0.40ytl
local drinks 5----7 ytl
cocktails 7----10ytl
In restaurants a hot starter eg soup 5 ytl
Chicken dishes about 15 ytl
steak dishes about 20 ytl
Most restaurants will give free bread and/or free drink. Some restaurants have set meals which were good value, 16 ytl for a 5 course dinner with any chicken dish or 20 ytl with steak.

If you have not been to Turkey for several years you will notice a big difference in prices. But lets bee honest a typical meal fro me and my wife with bread ,soup, achicken dish each and 2 Efes and 2 cokes was typically around 60 ytl with tip, about £24 which is great value

The rate whilst I was there was typically 2.5 ytl to £1, down from when I was there last May from about 2.9ytl to £1

Dolmus to Icmeler was 1.75ytl

The deal was 10ytl for chicken 13-15 ytl any steak, with soup for starter and a choice of pudding or apple tea, tea or coffee. which worked out about £4-£6 and the food was lovely. I know we were getting realy good deals in October but it was about the same price in May.
Some of thr resturants where even giving you free breakfast or half price breakfast if you ate there the night before.
My hubby loves steak and even had a t bone at this price and realy enjoyed it.

thanks all, much appreciated.
Looking forward to going , only 9 weeks today. Sorry Emre but we come back the day you arrive.

Should i take euros or YTL ??

i notice most of you gve prices in YTL !!!

Take good old fashioned pounds you will get a much better exchange rate there plus if you are buying anything on the market they accept £. and you will get a better rate off them.
We usualy just take enough YTL for bus fares and anything we want to buy from supermarket to get us over the first day or 2 and change everything else there.
