Think you'll find that's 650YTL not 65YTL so 125YTL for
 500kg is not too bad.

500kg x 6 = 3 tonnes

125 YTL x 6 = 750 YTL

Using the basic economic principle of economies of scale, I venture that 125 YTL for 500kg is officially "not a bad price at all".

To give slightly better directions to the place I found.

If you are standing at the entrance to the main bus station looking across the road, you will see a road with a canal running through the middle, the place is just after the market on right hand corner of the road.  No English spoken, he seems to be a one man band, but the wood looks excellent.

Rowanis, thanks for the info. I'll take a leaf out of your book and branch out to find this place when we visit in December. TT.  8)

Just make sure that the logs you buy are well seasoned. Some places are selling logs that have been cut this year and are very wet. If you buy by weight you'll be paying for a lot of moisture and the logs won't burn very well.

There is a "Cost of Living Guide" available within the Fethiye Times website; this covers wood & much more. Very useful to track the price increases over the months.
With the ever increasing comments about higher prices in the area, perhaps traders will not "set" such high prices for 2006. We can only wait & see.:P

we use the coal merchants just up from the devlet hospital in fethiye . On average we use a bag or two of coal perweek plus a bag of logs and small firlighting sticks. We burn this on a soba. For a quick fix turn the heat up on your aircon
