Look on xe webpages and that's near enough the rate you will get in the banks.

Why is this always about fags and booze?
Why does no one ever compare the price of fruit and veg?

I still shake my head in amazement and smile when I get a huge bag of fruit for around 50p.
Little things that make me happy.

Well said, I totally agree.  It's always lovely to go to the markets and get such fresh fruit and vegetable for a few lira.

It's not just that - some of us bang on about remembering when a bottle of gin was £2 and the like but even today, there aren't many places where you can get a very good meal and a stunning view like Shaka, King's Garden and many others offer, for the price you pay. We stayed at the Ece Saray overlooking the marina and Fethiye bay last April. Ok not peak time but where else in the World can you get a hotel like that with a view like that for (from memory) £67 per night for the two of us including breakfast at the rooftop restaurant?
