We came back from Turkey last month & spent loads of money, the food & drink prices were on par with the UK. When we went about 7 years ago the prices were a lot cheaper than UK.

[yigittural]

Half of the increase is due to inflation and the other half is opportunism. I am Turkish by the way.

[carolinematta]

So happy you both back “home” in Antalya for a holiday. Looking forward to updates on your new venture not so far away!!

[TheMagnifiscience]

The taste and quality of foods are not as before, quality has been downgraded but the prices are extremely upgraded.!

[voicesofnature]

In Alanya the prices in restaurants doubled to quadrupled compared to last year. For example a big portion of Döner in the shopping mall ALANYUM cost around 6 Euros last year, which was as expensive as a big Döner in Berlin at that time but the portion in Berlin is still double as big as in Alanya and the quality of the Döner there is way better than in any Döner place in Alanya. This year around 5 months ago it was already almost 20 Euros for one big Döner which is absolutely a ripp off price. A few days ago I passed by a Chinese restaurant which served my friends fried Börek for spring rolls a few months ago. I saw the menu outside and they charge for 2 pieces of Sushi 345 to 355 TL!! You would need to order at least 7 of them to fill your stomach, that would sum up to 7 x 345 = 2415 TL (64 Euros) for one person without drinks and tip. In Zurich Switzerland you can get right now 6 pieces of Sushi for 12 Swiss Francs. So for eating out in Alanya, many places now charge more than one of the most expensive cities in the world. My favorite pizza cost 5 Euros last year and this year 15 Euros. Last year the most expensive pizza there was around 7 Euros and this year 15-18 Euros. I have been living in Turkey since 2.5 years and I can tell you that this is not inflation but pure greediness of the people here. Many foreigners who had come to Turkey every year since 20-30 years told me that this year was definitely the last time for them. One woman even said she does not feel ripped off but rather like being robbed. Some people were in Spain and Turkey this year and said that Spain is way cheaper than Turkey and one person said that for the price of 1 week holiday in Turkey this year he could spend 3 weeks holiday in a nice country in Europe instead with much better service than in Turkey. Foreigners with Ikamet do not get the museum card anymore, so they permanently live here, Some have local jobs with a local salary, some live from their savings and can pay touristy prices all year round now. Also water and electricity prices went up for foreigners around 6 times, which is much higher than the prices for the locals, but this applies for foreigners who own a property here but do not have Ikamet (residency). Most foreigners already left Alanya. Everybody wants to sell their homes here and leave as fast as they can.

I just came back from Istanbul a few weeks ago. While I loved it, it certainly wasn’t cheap for food, unless you went to where the locals were. However, as someone from the US, anywhere else, I was quoted prices that would raise my eyebrow in the states…there was definitely a feeling of being hustled quite a bit. However, outside of Istanbul, I met many many humble and honest people 🥰

[stevegfromnc]

When I was in Turkiye in 2022, prices were very low, generally about 25-35% of what they would be in the US. Now, it appears to be more like 50-60%. But that apartment price was amazingly low for a short-term rental.

[adamboro]

Thank you great vlog, but can you leave the prices on screen a little longer next time and show what you bought to make these number. Thanks and Gouda cheese is the best !

[timlaw]

Things overall seem to be generally cheaper in Antalya than in Istanbul. But there is much more work and money in the big cities, especially Istanbul, and not much in Antalya except for tourism and related stuff.

[zorancomarkoski]

Prices in each country should be adjusted for the citizens of those countries... in this case Turkish people... the most important thing is they to be able to afford things

[MartyJones]

Great to see you back doing Turkey videos! Heading to Kalkan next August and can’t wait!

[carefreetravelz]

I noticed a huge difference, in Antalya, from the summer of 2023 to the summer of 2024...

[furkankaymaz]

hi Olga, welcome back. Nice to see you keep discovering and sharing.

[gjb]

Thank you for this update. We, a family of 4, are going to Antalya in 20 days, and this gives us a good idea of what to expect.

[jackoneil]

Thank you Olga for the update. Comparing Portland Oregon USA, prices for eating out, compared to what you showed there, comparable meals here would be 2x to 4x higher and roughly 2X to 3X for the same for groceries.
As far as hotels, expect to pay at least $150 to on average $200/night for a most basic room that is not overrun with drug or gang activity. Mid-range hotels this summer in popular areas are averaging about $250-400 per night, and luxury room as high as $1500per night.

Apartment rentals have gone up about 300% in the last 5 years. A basic studio typically start around $1200month to Two bedroom flats start at about $1800 and average $2000 or more. $1, 000/month gets you a bedroom with a shared bath and possibly kitchen. The cheapest room on Facebook was a room in a barn with no running water, or heat, and literally out-house for $500/month (No joke).

If my Landlord kicks-me out of my rent-controlled place she could at least double the rent to about $2300/month. I paid $550 6 years ago, If that happens over 100% of my retirement pension would go for rent alone, so at that point I, like Millions of Americans, I would be homeless, and judging from your update Olga, 'Turkey' seems like a possible escape option. The other being going back to S.E. Asia, maybe getting a long-term sea-view condo in Penang and spending time in Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia with border runs. Something many Americans might consider if they only were aware of the option.

[mollieslack]
