A Great Time To Visit Turkey

[Xhavenjoe]

1 Turkish lira equals
0.13 Pound sterling

In bars and restaurants it was about 2.5tlr for a beer (£3ish) and surprisingly 1.90 in our hotel

I think you're getting your exchange rate wrong. There's 7 lira to the pound at the moment

A great time to visit Turkey ... Well it will be from today the 2nd of March because entry Visas for Turkey have been removed saving £27 a person.

I always laughed that the cost of the visa was always not in Turkish lira!
£10 per person including kids during the 90's

I recall Alan Beswick's day time GMR show when folk called in with questions and listeners would call in with the answers.
One called in saying she was going to Turkey and had been told the passport official will demand a tenner "bribe" upon arrival and if you don't agree with paying it you wont get in the country!
I called up and said it wasnt a bribe but the cost of an entry visa!

I think we paid in dollars and couldn't for the life of us understand their logic. Anyway a move in the right direction for Turkey as tourist numbers continue to increase year on year and now back at 2015 levels. A spokesperson said "This step aims at increasing our tourism potential as well as further developing our trade, economic and cultural relations." Edited for syntax and grammar:

You sound like a Liverpool fan pre 2019!

The trouble with Turkey at the moment is the man in charge, Erdogan. On the world stage he always seems to be saying ' C'mon have a go if you think you're 'ard enough.'
