We're just back from Bitez and were shocked by the prices of Beer and spirits in the Restaurants and Bars around the area.
Most seem to be charging 5 or 6 ytl for a large Efes. I only saw a couple that were charging 3.5 in Bitez or Gumbet.
Spirits were V. expensive with up to 16ytl for a Baileys with ice and local shorts at 6 to 10.
I cut down on my drinking, but thought they were starting to take the Mick.
We won't be going to that area again.
Going to Gumbet next week. Last time I was there, a large Efes was about 3YTL I think. Cocktails were 5YTL from memory.
I think this time, it may be worth haggling with the guys dragging you into the bars for deals.
We also noticed a big difference in the cost of a Full English varied from about 6 - 8ytl in Gumbet and Bodrum up to around 8 - 12ytl in Bitez which is supposed to be an "All Year" resort for the Turkish.
Some bars do certain cocktails for 5 lira at certain times
WARNING some bars are adding drinks to your bill and charging turkish beer as foreign beer, please check your bill
was charged 49 lira for 7 beers at lwt bar when queried was told tuborg is a foreign beer pointed out we only had 5 beers and too get out said i would pay 25lira waiter wasn't happy but accepted the money and we got out v quickly.
