Prices in Dalyan?

[paulm]

Hi.....I'm heading out to Dalyan in about 10 days and I'm keen to get an idea on some prices! Things like snacks, cost of a meal for a family of 4 in a good quality place etc......also very important the cost of drinks :Happy:
I hear mosquito's are a real problem? Any advice?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi Paul and welcome to Dalyan Live.

You can reckon on a 500ml bottle of Efes being around 3 - 4tl depending on the bar/restaurant.

Spirits are more expensive especially the imported ones.

Food wise there is a wide range of prices, you will pay a lot more at one of the riverside restaurants than one in the back streets. For instance a sea bass dish could cost you 18tl or more at the river whereas it would be 12tl or so elsewhere.

If you go for a less touristy place for example in one of the small locantas off the main street you could have good quality meal with a beer for around 12tl [?5].

One tip I would give is that the main meals are quite large so unless you are very hungry you can do without a starter.

Mossies can be a problem but a liberal dosing with Dalyan Perfume [sinkov] keeps most of them at bay. Most bars etc will have some for the use of their customers.

Hi John

Thanks for that info.....I know it's a hard question to answer :) Your reply is very welcome....after reading endless posts on various forums I'm slowly getting the gist of prices.........I'm heading out to a Villa Maria.....looks a reet palace as we say in Yorkshire :)

I'm guessing that in the riverside places you pay for the view too :) I hear the lamb is really good in Dalyan?

Me and my brother in law, Chris, like to sneak off for a few beers later on.....any suggestions on a friendly bar......bit of TV, good prices, good atmosphere....

Thanks again....really appreciated...Paul

Not sure about the lamb as I don't eat it but if it's as good as the steaks it will be good.

The bars in Dalyan cater for a wide range of tastes, LT's is good for a quiet beer and a natter with other english. The Sunray has live music and also a seating area by the river, The rock bar plays what it says on the tin. The captains bar has sky sports and shows all the footie.

These are the bars I tend to go to but there are loads of others, I am sure others will be on to give an insight into what they have to offer.

hi John..we will be visiting in about 10 days..any idea what the rate is at the bank or post office ?

any idea cost of a can of efes from supermarket...would like to stock fridge up !

[John Codling]

Regarding rates Steve our resident reporter is best placed to answer that one. The Post Office rate is normally quite good but I do get a slightly better rate on my Nationwide card from any ATM in Dalyan.

I prefer efes in bottles rather than cans, I always get a metallic taste fromthe canned beer. If you look at page 19 here http://www.migros.com.tr/migroskop.html 8 cans of efes will set you back 16.8tl in Migros. I get my Efes Fici Bira from a small cash and carry in Ortaca in April 12 bottles came to around 25tl.

Exchange rates are a bit up and down at the moment but are around 2.3 lira to the ?. could go up, could go down just plain don't know.
Dia if it is still open is pretty good for beer prices, trouble is they seem to be out of stock most of the time.
