Life doesn't stand still even in Turkey, everything gets more expensive everywhere, Turkey is no different!

Hi canalman,yes we have just returned from calis and we used the water taxi twice, the fare is 2.5ytl for each way per person but I suppose it's not too bad when you think of the cost of bus fares in the UK.  One thing that may make you laugh though is that when we asked what time the boat left we were told 'today'!!!Cheeky monkeys they are!

Hi,

The airport has ALWAYS been expensive - captured audiance and all that. We paid £3 for a bottle of water 2 years ago.

Don't confuse airports with normal prices.

I should have said that it was £4.90 for a glass of wine at Manchester airport, but Dalaman is very expensive, as Stoop says its a captive audience, we've learnt our lesson and take water with us. In Calis if you eat or drink on the front then you'll pay more because you've got the view but if you go to some of the places as mentioned before you can keep costs down.

16YTL for two coffees - with free croissants!!! Mind you, plenty of savings on the duty free!  £19 for four bottles of bacardi!

Dalaman Airport does not show prices in Pounds any more its all in Euros we compared quite a few things and they were more expensive than in the UK so the airport prices have gone up too
