Draganaro is in Hisaronu - it is a long established Chinese restaurant which moved into lavish new preimises last year  :)  

It's the best chinese food I have eaten - everything is quality - food, service etc. highly recommended :D  It gets busy though, so booking is required in high season and be prepared to still have to wait on occasion  ;)

My office manager at work has just come back (today) from Gumbet. She went to a local store and bought: 3 potatoes, a small washing up liquid, 1 litre of milk and 2 small packs of butter. The price was YTL 27.5, roughly £11 :o I told her I think she was "ripped off". She was to scared to go back and complain, she said the owner didn't speak a word of English.

I understand from my Sue who returned from two weeks yesterday that the water Dolmus fare is now 2.5 YTL per person cpmpared tp 1.75 last year so two of us will have to pay 5YTL instaed of 3.5YTL. If that is true it is an incease of 43%.

If your only going a short way on the dolmus it's half price.
"Indi Bindi" (short hop) is advertised on every dolmus but the driver won't tell you this for obvious reasons lol

You should try asking for an Indi Bindi anyway - as long as you can swim!
I wonder what the reaction would be if you just jumped off the water dolmus & insisted on a refund as you hadn't had the full trip?

Not sure if this is accurate, but apparently the government put a 25% increase on alcohol tax....can anyone confirm or correct me on that?

Susie,

In November a bottle of Raki in Migros was 8 Lira, in May this year it was 22 Lira, a bit more than 25% !!!!!
