Depends where you go 3 local bars to me sell draught effes 10 tl a pint . Just been for a Gozleme a Pide plus 2 waters salad and Turkish tea about 21-50 tl £2-80 pThis may well be but has nothing to do with the Turkish Lira which over the last 2 seasons has increased from 4.40 to 6.00 to 7.40 to the GBP. An innocent bystander may be fooled into assuming this upward spike makes for increased Value For Money but sadly not as the Turks have filled their purple trews with much mischief and caddishness by increasing the price of a full English breakfast and pint accordingly to suit the exchange rate.
In 2017 a pint was around 9 lira and in 2018 went up to around 12 lira and this year most bars are kicking in at 14 lira a scoop. Still all the same £2 because of the exchange but not the value it should be. On the occasions we tunnel free from our A.I camp we shall simply haggle with them in an attempt to redress balance and maintain a status quo as they seek to have us over for fat lads. Still cheap at £2 but their scoops are not as cheap as Tenerife or the Dorm at circa £1.50. All that glitters ain't gold however as I am led to believe their coastal scenery and hospitality remain utterly priceless.
Molyvos and petra are both lovely. We stayed in anaxos down the road. Loved lesbos (stop it)I meant the bay for molyvos, not the very small beach near the restaurants. Petra has a better beach but molyvos is a great old style town with lots of restaurants and bars, nice views and the fishing port.

Most of the bars sell it at 13 tl to 15 tl .Off Liscence sells it around 10 tl .Government puts tax on alcohol twice a year .In Northers Cyprus it a lot cheaper .Icmelor a lovley place , first place we visited it Turkey we now in Altinkum .Just done all inclusive hotel £17 per person per night happy daysThe 10 lira at £1.50 sounds banging but we have some chums just come back from Marmaris and they said most are around the 14 lira mark.
