Prices in Turkey

Just wondered if anyone knows typical prices for eating out in Turkey, eg. cup of coffee, beer, 3-course meal, etc? Thanks in advance.

    It depends a lot on which area of Turkey you are going to

    Depends what you want to pay

    We were there in May

    Beer £1 - £2, Wouldn't pay more than a £1, local spirits and mixers between £2 - £3. Imported spirits £3- £4
    Usually large measures

    Meals between £5 - £20, don't make the mistake thinking if it's cheap it must be no good. If you like to try different food eat where the locals go

    These prices were in Hisaronou

    We were getting TL2.60 to the £1


    Hope you enjoy

    You won't get a beer in Marmaris for £1. It was £2 a bottle everywhere. As the other poster said it really does vary. The spririts where the top price that was posted by SteveJW.

    Take some vodka with you to have a drink before you go out as vodka in the shops is expensive over there.

    Tripadvisor forums have up to date prices as people return.

    I've never seen beer for a pound in Hisaronu either and I've been there 3 times this year

    Was paying 5 - 6 Lira in May,the £1 a pint jobbies,i found were well off the beaten track and not much fun to sup in either.

    Hisaronou between Olu Deniz and Fetiye, apparently more than one Hisaronou

    Street where the Robin Hood is (Road to Kaya)

    Just looked at a photo we took outside the Black Pearl in May 2011, Effes was 3TL a bottle, we were getting 2.60TL to the pound, my maths shows that works out at £1.15 a bottle

    Plenty more bars at the same price

    Agree though, we always take some Vodka

    In previous years you could buy several bottles per passport at Dalaman when you landed, various sources told me this had stopped, maybe we were lucky we purchased 3 bottles per passport. No not all for me, part exchange for the room rent

    But you did say you wouldn't pay more than a pound!
