It is now of the case of taking the p**s now a turkish mate of mine said prices will go up 50% cause we will pay them shocking i think but this is the way its going to get out here getting greedy!!!thats why im going to Malta this year after 6 years in Turkey loved the place but now taken the plish!!!

Do you think Turkey is in some kind of time warp untouched by the world economic crisis or that inflation somehow passes us by.

Average price for a glasss of wine 6-7TL £2.75
Spirits with mixer are around 8TL £3

I for one don't think that is too bad

 Guy at work has just returned from holidaying at the Hillside beach

 club.Drinks were only inclusive at meal times,outside of these the price of an Efes was £ 9.00    

 Not my idea of AI ( If the holiday was promoted as an AI)  

 Makes the 4-5 lira Efes seem like a bargain  

Sorry to correct you, but my daughter is a Therapist at Hillside, and said the price of Efes is 9 ytl not pounds. Still expensive I know, but considering the cost of a room is about 300 euros a night, it seems relative.

Have to agree Nicola also the average price of a beer is between 4 and 5 TL which works out at £2 a pint or less, thats hardly taking the p**s!

No one can tell me turkey is expensive.Came back from the uk in jan.After 3 weeks of paying london prices for food and drink.2pints of beer and a large vodka and coke 18 pounds.No sea view,no table service,no friendly smiles as you watch the world go by.Only cheap meals are witherspoons and harvester rests.All other places on average 100 pounds for 2 people 3 courses and wines.Rhodes is no cheaper same as most euro trips.Also remember no strict measure controls on the spirits here try buying a treble vodka and coke  for less than 3 pounds any where else.

But if prices rise 50% (because we will pay it) from where they are now, that will be a different story.

Why do you think prices will go up by 50%?

 No problem Phil- I did query the price when he told me,and will make an allowance as it was his first visit to Turkey

Phil, see Alybaba post page 2

The problem with putting up prices by 50% because "we will pay for it" is that nobody realises that we only pay for it till we find somewhere better to holiday. Greece took the mick for years, now it is in trouble you can see that hotel, holiday, beer, car hire prices have had to plummet to get people to go.

The lesson to learn now is the basic sales training principle we all yawned at because it is so bleedin' obvious - that it is far, far easier and cheaper to keep your current customers happy, than it is to go out and find new ones.
