[siamesechris]

what is the exchange rate at present - and the price of Efes - so we know how much money to bring

You'll need to consult the EPI for the price of Efes.

4.32 at the Post Office , you will get more in Turkey and the amount you need to take will surely depend on how much you drink

Here is the Official Turkish Exchange Rate on the Dovis.  This is the Bank Rate so you will get a little less.  If you keep it on our favourites, you will see it changes every day.

Well well, it is Holiday time again and time for her annual thread on the price of Efes.  The most important question on CBF. 

Bring all the money you have saved as you cannot bring anymore.  Anything you do not spend you can take home again.  Also bring a card for emergencies.

Yesterday MasterCard was giving 4.55 TL/£. Your bank may add their own charges - so join a different bank for holiday spending!

Love threads like this 

Arriving in August. I hope the rate stays above the 4 Lira mark, and that the Efes price will average out about 10 in the bars like Joseph's etc.

At Calis change shop this morning I got 4.48 had got 4.56 two weeks ago...some places on prom are charging 13 tl for a beer this season

[Taddy]

Thanks for the update.  13TL is a jump on last year for the front, but you can pay a fiver for a similar pint of lager at home in a city centre pub ( minus the view and hot weather)

13TL is a jump on last year for the front,

Turkonomics: Rule 1: If the numbers of tourists fall {e.g. by 30%} you have to charge the rest that still come more {e.g. 30% more} to make up your money.
