Gemiler is one of my favourite places, and I also eat at the restauranbt right on the beach, their
"meatball kebab sandwich" is just fabuolos, prices are clear and I enjoy it there.

Such a shame when people spoil it by ripping tourists off!

We got caught out with much the same with this restaurant this summer. It was our first visit to Gemeler. We got enticed in with the "free use of our sunbeds and maybe you could buy a drink from us" pitch. As it was our first visit my sister and my wife, after an hour of sunbathing, went for a wander and a look around. As soon as the woman who enticed us in saw them leaving their sunbeds and heading towards the other restaurant she started chasing them along the beach and shouting at them that they couldn't eat anywhere else, only in her restaurant.  It was very embarrassing. We eventually did retire to her restaurant for a drink and lunch and were charged a huge amount for very iffy sandwiches and soft drinks. They did not have a menu and much as I expect to pay a bit more when you are on quite a remote beach with not alot of other choice, I don't expect to be ripped off. It's easy to say don't buy without seeing the menu/price-list etc first but lots of places in Turkey don't have menus and we have never been ripped off like this before. I'm not complaining about it, I just wont go back.

just to add to this our friends went to the same place on the right as you look out to sea their was six of them and they were charged just over five hundred lira for chicken and chips and eight soft drinks.   the beach is a beautiful location but make sure you only use the restaurant on your left as you look out to sea

I'm surprised they've got away with it this long! Outrageous.

That's £30 each. I couldn't have paid it if it was me cos I don't take that much to the beach.
