Can I survive on 603 Turkish Lira for 1 week in Marmaris in Turkey?

Question

Im going on holiday to Marmaris in a week and need to know if I could survive on 603 Turkish Lira for 1 week as I dont know what prices are like over there for food in supermarkets and restaurants, as well as merchandise from markets and the nightlife.

Please help its much appreciated.

Answer 1

I saw cheap accomodation advertisements. I think you can survive with that much in Marmaris.

Answer 2

If your accommodation costs are met you will be able to afford a very nice week. If not, you can assume half that money will go on hotel/pansiyon costs which will leave you with survival money only.

It's possible but depends a lot on your lifestyle - what (and how much) do you drink? Are you happy to eat tost and drink ayran during the day? What sort of "merchandise" are you planning on buying in the markets? Forget the leather jacket and kilim but you'll be able to afford basic food, drink and the odd souvenir, including a few beers in the evening.

Good luck!

Answer 3

And what about the hotel ?

If you already prepared hotel's money, then these 603 YTL will just help you survive for your meals and drinks.

But it won't be enough since holidays are supposed to be fun and entertainment, not survival.

That would be a bit though holidays, I think...

Try to bring at least 400 YTL more, and you will enjoy it better.

Answer 4

l would recommend you  get 3x more than that if you need also accommodation with that money. l am a turkish and l am gonna stay there next week about 6 days and 5 stars hotel cost more than 800 TL and l am gonna take at least another 800 TL with me

Answer 5

hmm, If you can arrange the accommodation free of charge aybe it will be enoguh for you but on the other hand it is in direct proportion with how much you drink alcohol and spend money on entertainment.. I think if you cut down on your meals fr example no lunch or breakfast and can arrange the accommodation yes, you can get by there..

I can give you an idea on how to arrange free accommodation
