Cost of living in Olu Deniz

Hi
I am trying to decide on BB or AI for a holiday in Olu Deniz. Has anyone been recently, if so what are the average lunch and dinner costs and what are the prices of drinks alcoholic, non-alcoholic and water.

As an aside does anyone know where I can find information on the various trips that can be done, specifically the costs.

P.S

I havent booked yet but I am looking to travel on the 18th June +-1day, four people for 14 nights. If anyone spots any amazing deals ley me know ;) . Not only in Turkey anywhere except Spain.

    Some great information and links regarding Turkey. There is a live webcam to enjoy as well.... I am off there in September for 2 weeks

    Paying about £1800 for flights 5* Hotel HB. Not money saving I know but sometimes it is nice to enjoy the nice things in life.

    Cannot give you any recent information as it's been nearly ten years since I was there, but at that time everything was very reasonable. If I had the opportunity to go again I would definitely go BB as there are so many nice places to eat out.

    Olu Deniz is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and the local people are so friendly. Whatever board basis you choose I am sure you will have a fabulous time.

    Meals can be had from abot 50p [for a kebab] up tp maybe £4 for main course.
    Bottles of water large are about 30p in the shops.beer about £1 local spirits cheap and wine cheap only drinks dear are imported eg bacardi about£2
    There are loads of markets very cheap and loads of trips.A boat trip all day would be about £7 including lunch.all trips inexpensive compared to some countries.Do try it you will never go back to spain or even greece and I like greece.
