Just some of the reasons we see has made it a great place to be for the past nearly 10 years all be it just half timers. We see the best and worst of both places TR UK. In our opinion not good to compare the two, so many differences.
Free heating for water. Eating here should mean less electric on cooking, Salads, fresh friut, yougurt, cheeses, breads all very cheap. There are many very good quality Turkish restaurants in around Fethiye and not too expensive. Very long standing Turkish restaurant in Fethiye near harbour, starter, main meal and a beer 24 t each person. Beef in TR for us take it or leave it. What do they say? When in TR eat as the locals do. Could we afford a pool and cleaning every day in the UK? NO!! Could we afford to eat out in the UK like we do here NO!! Could we travel this interesting country and find inexpensive clean Hotels? NO!! As for beer, cheap alcohol is on the way out in most contries for "health reasons" what would be good here is for the quality of the beer and wine to be improved!
Flights and the four hours is always making it more expensive than France or Spain.
The point being there are two sides to a story.
Then the most important thing for us is the SUN from end of May to 1st of October this year one days Rain,how cheap is that??
