You pays your money and you takes your choice

I confess to having been a little apprehensive following reports about increased prices.

As far as I can remember, this is what we paid

MC = Main Course; GWW = glass of white wine; BWW = bottle of white wine; hopefully the rest are self explanatory

I think you might have exceeded your recommended units of alcohol John ! Oh dear what a shame , so did I .

Lovely to meet you at last H and can see you arrived home safe and sound.
We haven't been so thorough but can honestly say we found very little increase if any and still find Calis excellent value for money.

And meeting you bluwise and I agree.

I thought about posting that we paid between 30 and 143 tl to eat out in the evening.

That would have been accurate but wouldn't have told people anything.

The 30 tl was for two burgers in Maya after eating loads on a boat trip and the 143 tl was for fourpeople in a restaurant away from the front with starters, wine etc.

One thing I am glad to see while reading your bill, was that you were drinking plenty of water!!!

The water was for the present Mrs H - I was on the GWW, BWW and/or G&T.

Fortunately, I don't drink beer as a rule.

For two people on most nights it doesn't seem as bad as I thought after reading about the price increases. 143TL isn't too  bad for four people, around 35TL each for a two meal course and including alcohol. Though depending on personal income and how much you're able to bring out, price increases may be more noticeable to some than others perhaps.
For our party of 6 coming out this year, we'll probably eat out less because of the number of us (4 students and 2 working adults) so the payment is a little sided too.

We did not find the price increases to be as bad as reported on here.

The high exchange rate is also a factor Miss.M. We got 2.93 one day and when we left it was 2.87.

Have a splendid holiday.

H  can you please give me the name of the place you ate at for 143tl ,that is very cheap for all that food and drinks. Normally all that drink would come to more than the total bill.

mac2010 - I think it was Zayra 1 - friends took us there. Don't know how well you know Calis but I think the directions are - go up the Baris Manco Bulvari to the first roundabout after the dolphinless roundabout (to PJ's Bar if you know it); turn right and go approximately 500 metres; turn right again and Zayra 1 is approximately 150 metres down that round on the right.


 



PS I have also sent you a PM

PPS Just noticed your location is Turkey so forgive me if you already knew the directions.
