(we change money over there - we find we get a better rate; off there again last week in September/first week of October - we find July and August too hot (mid-30s to low 40s)).

If I remember correctly it was about 3Tl to the £ when I first went in 2015. I think inflation is running at about 35% now which is down from the 80% ish it was last year.. always makes me laugh when people complain that Turkey is expensive it’s not it’s just it was ridiculously cheap
It’s generally about 30-33c when we go so not too but I still remember the first time walking out of Antalya arrivals at about 11pm and doing a u turn back into the aircon muttering ‘no, absolutely not’ the subsequent 3hr transfer on a packed coach with no aircon was a joy.
