Does that price include my new visa and a 3 course meal? ;)
-
Dolmus to Kas = 20YTL Return
Ferry to Meis = 35 YTL Return
Visa Cost = 4.5 YTL
Total Cost = 59.5 YTL
So that's a 100% mark up not bad, who said Turkiye is getting too expensive Goose Golden Egg and Shooting jumps to mind !!!!
-
Friar,
You are not obliged to use the service.
I am sure you could get the bus down to the Isle of Wight and pay for your ferry tickets yourself and do it cheaper than using a private car service. I could buy 3 eggs cheaper than they charge for an omlette in most restaurants.
Why do people have to continuously knock our hosts who attempt to offer services?
-
Offering a service and being ripped off are two entirely different things when you sell a property how much profit would you expect to make, if they are good host's then why do they try to rip us off, I am only trying to point out that DIY can be a LOT cheaper. Have a nice day :D
-
DIY is always cheaper - I should know - Nick is currently trying to fix our shower pump - if he fixes it, it will be a lot cheaper but it will be a lot more hassle and stress than getting someone in and paying for the service:D
-
Go on, you're going to have to help me here
Where is the rip off? I can't see it.
He has confirmed his itinerary and his price. From there, where does the rip off come in?
He is offering people a choice, and once again if you think it's too expensive, don't use it.
-
I don't see the point in going out for a meal when I can stay at home and cook it myself for a fraction of the cost.

So as I said a fair profit I don't mind but a 100% mark up surely that is a rip off, now you answer my question if you sell a property how much profit would you expect to make ???
-
If I sold mine, I would expect to make as much profit as possible. Possible may be £200,000 or 20p, but I'd want as much as possible.
Nobody is obliged to buy my house either.
-
Dalaman airport supply services you either use or you don't or you could start a petition about it. :)
-
Friar, the term 'rip-off' suggests you are being charged more than you expected: this price is not an estimate, it is what you choose to pay (or not).
In your example you have used one person travelling, but if you fill the car suddenly the long Dolmus journey in the middle of winter is not such a bargain. You are being picked up from home and dropped off at home, not having to catch connecting Dolmus. I'm sure there are other cheaper ways to travel, this is an offer which people must decide upon for themselves.
If you took two couples sharing the cost, one of which needed to go to Meis and the other decided to stroll around Kas for the day, this is not an expensive day out with a car and driver at your service.
-
Come on Friar raise your game or give up
Dalaman Airport supply services I choose not to use, exactly as I advised on the Kas Visa run service - you have a choice. I take it you now agree with me then. I set up the petition so people could have their say - what did you do?
Where did houses come into it anyway?
-
Yeah whatever
-
Are you 14, or is that really the best reply you could come up with?
-
this service offered includes a visa I presume this is for entry into greece,do poeple use this route to renew the 3 month turkish visa and is this the best route? the fact that someone has offered/come up with a service and named a price to my mind is fair play, it allows potential customers to make an informed choice.
-
You do not need a visa for entry into greece. The visa referred to is the normal tourist visa you would purchase on entering Turkey through say Dalaman which you can extend for a further three months by going to Meis. :)
-
I think you'll all find the service offered is JUST a car to Kas scheduled to arrive at Kas before the ferry (which you have to pay for) leaves & the car returns you to your place after the ferry drops you off.
The visa Friar Tuck says 4.5YTL? Surely not???
-
Friar Tuck is talking rubbish, British passport holders do not need to pay to enter another EU country, and that includes Greece.
-
Around £52 for six people to get to Kas and back in comfort sounds pretty reasonable to me.
I have taken your number Mustapha as there are five of us and a child coming out in September and you seem to have the best price for airport transfers. I will be in touch.

I thought the "Visa run" was about how to renew your 90 Day Visitors Visa the 4.5 YTL refers to the cost of this Visa (£10 ) you scunner say you do not need a Visa to enter another EU country so since when has Turkiye been in the EU, so this thread is not about going from Kas to Meis to renew your Visa. :D
-
No wonder you can't afford a car to Kas :D
I've got 500 £10 notes, you can buy them, but you can't have each one for 4.5 YTL, because that is £1.96 :)
-
Friar Tuck how bloody thick are you [?]. As Scunner said as a Brit you do not need a Visa to enter another EEC country. That allows you to enter Meis, a Greek island, at no expense. Coming back you re-enter Turkey from Greece so you renew your 10 quid 90 day visa. Which incidentally is 23.3 ytl at current exchange rate.:D
Oh Tribal, you do not extend your visa, you get a new one. :D
Ken :D
-
I can see now why Robin Hood and his Merry Men were so busy, 'cos Friar Tuck was losing so much of their money when he went to the Change Office !
-
Nit picking Ken .....OK "you extend your stay by purchasing a new visa"

I make the visa cost around 23YTL not 4.5 so that makes a total of 78.5 YTL per person. So hardly a 100% mark up, especialy if there are say, 4 persons sharing the car the cost is only 30 YTL each plus the visa cost (23YTL) making a grand total of 53YTL per person.
So that plus not having to get up at some god awful time to get into Fethiye, to catch the dolmus, which incidently, takes twice as long as a car as it stops at every village on the way, makes it a pretty good deal as far as I can see:D
-
I don't think the visa cost is included in the price given.
-
Right here I go first I would like to apologize to Mustafa4 for getting it completely wrong I would also like to apologize to "most" of CBF members, I do not like arguing and I do not like calling other members names or calling them "Thick" as I do try to stick to forum rules, I may not be as clever or as quick thinking as scunner but I do honestly and sincerely love firstly the Turkish people, they are who for me make Turkiye what it is, and secondly I of course love Turkiye. I will stop posting because it does seem to wind certain people up but will keep popping back to see what is going on, I wish CBF and Mustafa4 every success and finish finally with my sincere apologies to him. Hope this thread can now die a natural death and lets get with enjoying the country we all Love. The End
-
I don't think there is any need to stop posting friar maybe just be a bit more creful how you put your views forward we need all the posters we can get to keep it intersting.
We all upset someone now and then because we believe in our views and stand by them, I do it all the time we all have opinions.
Tinx ;)
-
Please do not stop posting. It was all taken in good spirit - life is too short. Any publicity is good publicity - may or may not be true, but it has meant that the pros and cons of this winter offer have been well aired. No offence taken. Look forward to being of sevice some time.
Mustafa
-
Mustafa did that price include the visa?
-
:oTinx the diplomat, well done Sir. ;)
-
I will only say that it is sad that a good wholesome debate nearly always ends this way on CBF.
There is nothing wrong with a good old wrangle where opinions differ, it can be quite enlightening. Just because someone questions your view doesn't mean it's time to leave or for the topic to end.
I love a good discussion and as long as it isn't allowed to descend into insults it can be very interesting.
As for telling someone you think they are thick, it isn't that bad, but maybe a little hurtful :D
Let's have some hearty debates like adults do, and not get upset.
-
:DWe'l need some more thick plantpots on the forum to do that. ;)

If a "discussion " had not started I would not have thought to look at Mustaphas prices. So keep posting Friar Tuck

Tinx - by my reading of the post - it ONLY includes the car to the port & from the port. NOTHING ELSE! Not a bad price if the car is full & far less hassle than taking a few dolmus.
The cost of the ferry & the visa are on top of this price.
