What about soft drinks if going out or have a beer in the house

It's against the law to drink in public on election day.

You'll have to settle for Turkey's national drink which, according to an Erdogan pronouncement, is not raki - no, not at all - it is ayran!

So is inside a hotel classed as a public place? What time does the placing of votes end at?

We’re going from Fethiye to Rhodes for the day on Sunday, and we’ve topped up our room fridge with beer for when we get back in case we get the DTs when we get back 😏

Sooooo yesterday I thought I want to hear from the horses mouth the correct answer as some comments on “the other place” are quite frankly doing my headd in! Soo DRUMROLL! I got on my bike and cycled down to Jiva there is a lovely new chap working on reception, he told me this and made a phone call to clarify...” It is only our Turkish guests who can not have alcohol on Sunday” soo goodness knows how that is going to be policed!

Water cannons :D

Great news Karen. I too would have been gutted to have booked and found it to be dry that day.
