Hi everyone, been 4 years since I’ve been to Calis after having been 11 times previous, was just wondering if anyone knows what prices are like at the moment with the Lira Exchange Rate being so high, I’m hoping to get back over in Sep/Oct and look forward to seeing some old friends and making new ones, thanks in advance for any replies

We were over 09 to 23 June and spent roughly the same amount in sterling as we did in last visit in 2019.
But that was before the latest tax hike on alcohol :) :) :)
Hope this is helpful.

I have just returned after spending 3months in Calis, what i noticed was that when the lira went up against the pound some of the Bars, Restaurants put their prices up significantly I saw one establishment price go from 175 to 215 for the same item, when i challenged the price i was told your £ has gone up, even though it only went up 50krus.
Calis is getting expensive now as the locals try to make ends meet as its very difficult for them to live, i saw bread go up twice whilst there from 2TL to 4TL thats a 100% increase.
I still think its cheaper than other holiday resorts in Europe but is definitely catching up.

My mate was in Calis in June and sent me photos of a menu

Hi Rana
The clue is in the first photo, middle section (Chefs Special) :)

I hadn't spotted that myself - doh :-[

ok - I'll try again - hopefully no clues and it is a genuine photo from when my friend was there in June (not just some random image off the internet :D)

Food prices have risen dramatically in Turkey. A 250 g pack of supermarket own butter increased from 19,90 to 29.90 in less than 2 weeks, and not so long before cost 9.90 lira.
Meat is not a possibility for many Turkish families, just too expensive. Inflation is raging in Turkey, the true inflation figure is much higher than the official one, so prices increase all the time. But with the good exchange rate, for tourists, Turkey should still seem to be a good option price wise.
And of course, petrol, electricity, gas, have all jumped in price. As has the price of medicines and treatments in hospitals.

i found the food prices quite expensive if i'm honest ok, its been four years since we last came to turkey and, our first time in calis, even the lokantis we ate in were'nt that cheap, yes the quality of the food is remarkable but we found that if you went away from the seafront the prices and quality differed a lot,
we ate at babzum a lot as the food was amazing, we tried georges as i like a bit of steak it was nice but the babzun was far far better, it was a shame we didn't venture further up the road just try the salmon at the babzun, i'm not really a fish person unless its wrapped in batter with chips and salt and vinegar but that meal was truley outstanding it really was, ice cream at the ramondo was like omg :P
-
UK food prices are very quickly catching up and now, due to the heatwave, most supermarkets are either rationing water or have already run out of supplies.
-
Where is Babzum Restaurant please?
-
Hi Tony, if you walk up Barış Manço away from çalış high street it's on the right just past şok supermarket. It's on the corner just before the little park area.

Thanks Rana, we’ll give it a try in September.
