increase in prices

[charlste]

We noticed last week that 2 bars/restaurants that we had been frequenting for a few weeks had put their prices up.
Why oh why dont they set their prices at the beginning of the season and stick to it.
it seems to me that once they see more tourists arriving they just see lira notes in their eyes and just put prices up.
The 1 or 2 weekers dont notice it but longer termers or expats living there do.

Simple solution - vote with your feet ;-)

What prices specifically?  drink, food or both? and what was the increase?

This happens in every tourist resort throughout the world

This happens in every tourist resort throughout the world 

but where else would you get a three course meal cooked with fresh ingredients for £10.00??

[charlste]

I think i put this in the wrong section.
It was aimed at calis.
It was both food and drink Jacqui

Jacqui.
The increase in some drinks ie shorts went up 3 lira and beer 2 lira.So a round had jumped up 5 lira overnight.
The main course had gone up 4-5 lira overnight.

So, time to name and shame the places. 
We found over three weeks the prices in the places we ate were the same.  Usually around 100 lira for two meals and drinks,  Most expensive the Ada, 390 lira  but worth every penny.  Cheapest the Corner Restaurant 44lira for two meals and drinks.    I agree with Heather, meals are great value for money.

One was serkul 1 and the other was kerim on the corner.
A friend of mine said ali's bar had done the same.

We averaged 70 - 90 lira for a meal with drinks. Cheapest was about 18 at Ciftlik Pide and dearest was Brothers I think. Their set menu was 34 lira each if you wanted steak.
