i think your friend has lira and his pounds mixed up i have just returned from marmaris and the most i paid for a soft drink was 5ytl not £5 and this was for a pint of coke so its still very cheap over there
oh i agree with you on that one, one fat lady (so sorry but that really doesn't sound right) i leave on the 05/09 done greece Euros and america but this lira malarki seems really confusing. Ive also got a husband that wont pay for a thing, he wont go to the bar or shops or anything so if we end up skint in the first week it's my fault. i'm gonna be 3 stone lighter when we get back too scared to eat incase i order ther dearest stuff on the menu 
Any way i'm sure we will quickly learn & in one of the topics in here ( i thinks it the second page) there's a currancy converter from £'s to TRY and the reverse.
Have a great one & if you see 2 six foot tall men with a blondish woman 5 7ish it's me & the lads come & have a bevvie with us. that's if it's marmaris your going to.

i always work on 2.5 tyl to the pound, not exact but good enough for a quick check in your head.
5 tyl ===£2 what could be easyer

If you are on holiday with children the best thing to do if you are in apartment is stock up on soft drinks from super market, if the kids want a drink they can just pop up to room for one much cheaper, i know the kids will find this a pain, but you will find you get a good saving doing it htis way especially if you have a few in tow.
I came back after two weeks in Marmaris at the beginning of this month and the prices were nothing like £5 for a Coke, as others have said think they have £ and YTL mixed up.
My mum is rubbish with the currency too, I managed to get her to remember that 10YTL = £4 so at least she had some sort of idea on price. Also one of the restaurants that we used gave out cards that had the Turkish notes printed on teh back, we got her one of these and wrote how much each note was worth approximately this helped too.

Mind You If your getting muddled with the lira as it is now you would have had no chance before it was devalued It was £1000'S to the pound and some things were over 1 million lira MIND BLOWING 
just take this with you

dont pay more than 2.5 ytl for coke and 5 ytl for a beer.............maybe more in night clubs......... if they want more say NO and go to the next bar... there are about 5000 of them so you should be ok!
I was surprised when he told me because I thought thats 10 liras. He must of mixed it up, but he was out on a tourist trip and where they stopped could of been that much. You know whats it like the coach stops off the refreshments a captive audience and the prices are sky high.
Soft drinks cost 3 lira in all bars, Not £5 as suggested, Why dont people ask the price before they order, Everyone can talk, It's simple if you think it's to expensive, Move to the next bar and ask price its that simple, Dont get ripped off.
Only just seen rwb46 disagreeing with me
I am no great expert on Turkey. But I do know that when I went out there with my young son in October 2005 the average evening meal for both of us (including a couple of drinks) was about 20 lira. This year in July I paid between 30 and 40 lira each night.
Still cheap but not as cheap as it was on our first visit. Last time I'm sure I used to eat starters as well, never puddings, can't stand them. I didn't bother with starters this time as it was way too hot to eat much.

We stayed in marmaris this year and didnt find it much more expensive than 2 years ago,i did find tasty bites rather expensive for what we got,could have eaten in a nicer restaurant for the price we paid there.We had 1 meal in icmeler and found it a reasonable price for the 6 of us.Best to shop around 
Lesley Jane, Please name the restauraunts you were in when you paid that price?

Which price are you talking about?
I went to the chef on both trips. I can't remember where else apart from the Ozzy on the first trip.
This time I went to the Wayside (the best) Titanic, love boat I can't really remember the others.
Looking around the resort at the boards outside they were all much the same.
I'm not sure why you are so intent on proving me wrong. All I have done is stated how much I paid for evening meals on my two trips to Icmeler. I have absolutely now reason to lie about this.

Hi Lesley Jane,
I think everyone knows that prices have risen considerably in Turkey within the last two years. And as you say, most of the restaurants in the main resorts do charge more or less the same prices. They would have to

i find its better to pay the higher price after all for instance one place was advertising grilled chicken, rice ,mash .veg, chips and 1 drink and free breakfast the next morning all for £3.99,we all know english sausage and bacon is hard to come by and can be expensive,i would rather pay 21lira for a steak meal and be kind to my stomache there is cheap places out there but i for 1 avoid them and eat in the places i have come to trust

Im a regular at the Wayside myself and have never paid the price you have for a meal, Yes I know they dont do set meals, The loveboat is far to busy for me to wait in as it alway's seems to be pretty well full in the evenings again I have not seen set menu's on boards That explains why you pay so much for the meals.
