How much money do I need in Turkey?

[Summerishere123]

Has anyone been recently and know how much activities cost? It is all inclusive but would like a massage, turkish baths, water sports.

For 9 days, how much would you take?

Whilst, due to their 50% ish inflation prices have gone up, other than alcohol, most things are still much cheaper there than here. (Even alcohol if you stick to local stuff).

Day out on a boat with lunch is around £20
Turkish Bath - basic from around £10 up to 50 ish with lots of extras (not rude ones)
Basic trial scuba dive around £26

Basically you can spend as much or as little as you want. If you have more than a week get a revolut, starling or some other similar account. You can get what you need when you need it without converting unnecessarily.

If you are on Facebook look up groups for your specific resort - you will get loads o info there.

My info is based on Hisaronu/OluDeniz area

We went in June and a Turkish bath, amazing massage and full body mask was £60. Bloody lovely. I had two! They did DS (11) a bath, massage and chocolate face mask for £20. Teen DC refused to entertain it!

We had a full day boat trip (8 hrs) including a hot lunch and stops for swimming, including cliff diving for £25 each. Great music as well! They do try to get you to buy digital photos they take while on there. We got loads of good ones of DC diving in the water for £20 so didn’t feel ripped off.

We didn’t do much else as resort had loads of activities day and eve, 4 pools with water slides and private beach, and DC were quite happy to stay there aside from a trip to the city for a bit of shopping.

Jet skis were more expensive. Around £50 for 20 mins. Banana boat was around £30 I think. Teens didn’t fancy it.

They will normally quote in £s when they hear you are British.

We took £1500 in lira, (expecting to use card for anything over that) for 5 of us for 9 days and came back with £350! Food at the hotel was amazing and we could use 2 of the a la carte restaurants once per stay so didn’t feel the need to eat elsewhere.

DD did firing range, quad bike hire, jeep safari as well as a couple of boat trips when she went after us with her boyfriend and they came out at £30-50 each. She took around £700 for 2 weeks but did quite a bit of shopping.

Thanks Ladies!

How much sterling for spending money do I need for Marmaris, Turkey. I will be all inclusive. Just need for a night out or two plus some trip's not too many though. Just not sure what to take or to
exchange up. Going July 12th 2023.

We also take lira for tips on the resort, the staff appreciate it. Nice spas in the hotels are expensive. Much nicer than group trips to a bath though.
