I'm paying £2200 for a weeks all inclusive for 2 adults and 2 teens in half term. Turkey.

That’s a bargain! Where did you find it?

gogohmm · 22/05/2023 21:43

Depends where! I've just put together a trip that's 3x that, ouch (once in a lifetime type trip) but paying £1100 ai in the canaries later too

That sounds fine for Greece OP. We love our food and also like a drink and we rarely spend more than 50 euros on an evening meal .... starters, mains, beers, carafe of local wine etc.

It's nothing like home where we can spend well over £100 on similar.

Yes, that’s why we like Greece because food is reasonable compared to lots of places. Even a pretty meh meal around us is easily £50. Would much rather be sat at a taverna overlooking the sea … who cares if the wine is like piss when it’s cheap 😂

No I think it sounds alright but obviously depends on what you're willing to pay. Prices have sky rocketed this year. We paid 3k for 10 nights, struggled to find any cheaper than that.

jamiejean · 23/05/2023 14:46

Just realised you said that includes money for food too, I think you've found a pretty good deal!

i think i am going to the wrong part of Greece as recently I’ve found price’s similar to the Uk.

If you want reasonable prices then you need to avoid islands you can fly directly to from outside of Greece. Avoid Mykonos and Santorini for anything more than a night or two.

But who knows, maybe I’m wrong and restaurants and that have gone up!

It also depends on where you are from in the UK. My partner’s parents live in a very rural area of the UK and pub meals are £7-8. You won’t get anything for under £12-14 here.
