what to drink
57 Posts
OK so water is the obvious one, but when letting the hair down at night what tipples should be...er well tipped, beer wine or spirits, local brews etc what would you recomend
If you want to drink Beer then it must be EfeS the best Beer in Turkey. If you want shorts then try Raki with water. Thats the Turkish national drink.Be careful as mixed with water you dont realse the affect it has on you and if you are not careful you will be Rat Legged in no time at all.Enjoy your holiday.

Efes is nice and i am partial to a wee Turkish vodka or 2 
Efes and Raki together is like hand grenades ,but great at the time just need to take them easy. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

'Vole' is a beer that showed up last year - I found it a good alternative if Efes wasn't available as I don't like Tuborg.
If you like white wine try Cankaya - not the cheapest but very drinkable. The local gin (cin!) is quite acceptable in a martini or with tonic. Enjoy!!

if you like your bikardi when your home but find it is expensive in turkey order turkish VOTKA (not to be confused with vodka)

A nice cold efes and the odd raki just to be polite.
Vodka and cherry juice also nice (try with soda also). Cherry juice is as widely drunk as orange juice is here.

That's the one. It's an 'acquired' taste should we say. I like to partake in a few glasses but I'm sure I wouldn't drink it here.
Very similar to Ouzo.

I usually drink Efes, I don't really like spirits much and although I like wine, I am not particularly keen on Turkish wine, Kavak is quite nice though. I do occasionally have a glass of raki too which is quite nice. Not that I can drink much with two young children to look after !
Kitten, you will find cocktails almost everywhere but you don't get too many alopops and if you do get them they are very expensive.
Miss Funky, Votka is Vodka, not Bacardi ....

Try vodka, pineapple juice and coconut syrup with ice! You cannot taste the vodka, A very enjoyable drink!
