Spending money in Turkey

Hi all, we have done a bit of camping in France the past few years in the 6 weeks hols. We've been looking at apartments in Europe for this year as it always works out more expensive than you think for eurocamp. Whilst looking we've spotted that for obvious reasons turkey is a great price. I'm just wondering how much spending money we would be looking at gbp- tl for 14 nights hoping to eat out most nights, not necessarily fancy, around Icmeler? Most other responses aren't too recent. Thanks

Oh and the area the OP is talking about is nothing like Istanbul plus all taxi co-op's are regulated; set price per journey and you can pay the driver before you enter the taxi if you want to.
Please don't tar the whole country with Istanbul's brush. Like I said before, everyone should be careful everywhere.

I presume that you do realise that Turkey has more than one city?

LOL.

You said "but to say it's a "common scam" is hardly true!"

& don't even have the good grace to admit you were wrong!!!

And oh I wasn't in Istanbul when it happened to me.

Ok, I'm wrong, you're right.

Feel better now? Grin
