Spending money for All Inclusive Holiday

I am going to Turkey for a week all inclusive.

How much spending money will I need? I know its a "how long is a piece of string" question but I was just wondering what others thought and have taken in the past.

I was planning on taking £200 worth of currency.

Thanks in advance.

    Maybe eat and drink out once; buy some clothes; a present or two. I would have thought £200 more than enough.
  • Excurions, if any. Hammam. Massage. Ice-cream in the town. Souveniers. £200 is enough.
  • We went AI in Ibiza a few weeks ago and for the 4 of us we took £350 - with that we bought cigs to bring home, presents, go on the banana boat for us all, a couple of drinks out and food/drink at the airport on the way home!

    I think £200 will be plenty however it depends on what you want to do and whether you like the food in your hotel etc.

    Depends on how good your Ai hotel is , where it is and your souvenir requirements.

    2009 Side , spent £150 14 days , includes 2 pairs of fake jeans and couple of taxi rides to Side

    2010 Lara Beach , £100 14 days includes Taxi to Antalya , couple of leather belts ,drinks.

    2011 Beleck £75 12 days , trip to Beleck , couple of boxs of Turkish Delight.

    Hotels got better ( more expensive)
    Trips in July , effort in the heat to get away from swimming pool .

    Ps this was a holiday for three .
    Hotel food was so good , no point in eating out.
