and they're buying back at 9.5!! 

Think about it !

They're selling TL to you at a little over 12p each. They're offering to buy them back from you at around 10.5p each.

I didn't say I was going to sell any unused back. We rarely bring any back and usually leave it as tips etc at the end of the holiday! Was just adding to the discussion.

If local traders previously quoted the price in sterling, say £ 20, what should a tourist expect to pay now   ;).

I'd expect to pay £15 now.

RE price increases in Calis. Is the following correct ?:

If you were charged, for example £ 10 for a boat trip in June that would have been equivalent to 60tl.

If you are now to be charged an extra 20tl you will be paying the equivalent of 80tl.

But you will have received nearly 90tl for your tenner..

I'm presuming anything charged in £'s will stay the same & anything charged in lira will move with the exchange rate - that could start another debate on the price of efes 😂 what I think have been stupid prices this year are the flights, I booked ours for this year as soon as Easyjet released their schedule for September & as it was busy the website kept crashing so even though I originally did get some cheap flights in my basket I ended up paying a lot more than we have ever paid before 😨

DianeT - Why should that be the case?

At the end of the day you're paying the same amount & the local prices in lira will increase for the traders so they need to move their prices accordingly, I'm probably completely wrong 😬
