Out of interest, do you know what caused it to be short lived there?

They have been trying to fix the price of an Efes in Hisaronu as long as I can remember - every year it was the same and lasted all of about 5 minutes... it just doesn't work!

Not sure Keith. It doesn't bother me really I'm not one for spending my hols searching out where I can save a few kuros on beer. Also with 2 kids in tow its not the cost of the beer that empties the wallet its the extortionate cost of soft drinks, Large coke or sprite is 5-7 TL in a lot of places.

Tell me about it - over 3 quid in some places for a UHT milkshake

But back to topic, Calis will be no different to Hisaronu on minimum or agreed prices - when people see that it's a great theory but they aren't making any money, they'll break ranks and the scheme is over...

Forget the price of Effes... large coca cola 5tl,
But hey.. good food, good weather, great views, lovely people.
That's great value.

Just asked the other half and he said yes it is true the prices have to be fixed this year in Calis
Noticed also in Fethiye that the dayboat trips 12 islands etc are advertising at 50tl, last year 20tl, was told this is the price they all must charge this year, theyve also had to upgrade the boats with seperate men and Womens loos and provide a changing room, cant see that 50tl price lasting for long either

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Really [?]

I can't remember to be honest but most definitely a very basic milkshake made with UHT milk and a spoonful or Nesquik was between 6 and 7 lira in many places in Calis - a ridiculous price, especially when you need to order two

It gives an insight into why some families are tempted by all inclusive deals - kids need lots to drink here especially in the height of summer and they can't be expected to drink only water.

2 kids x 5 drinks at say 6TL is 60TL (£24) per day
 
£24 x 14 is £336 just on drinks!
