Food is cheap compared to Europe  for example..

You can buy every vegetable or fruit in kilos with low price.

For example a kilo of tomatoes for now is 65 p.

A loaf of bread is half a dollar.

a kilo of apples is 2 dollars.

A kilo of banana is 2 dollars

a can of coke is 1 dollar

a hamburger is about 3 dollars..

etc.. But vegetables and fruit change according to the summer and winter seasons...

Answer 5

If you eat local food in basic places it is very cheap - you can have two or three hot dishes and a soft drink for about 10ytl (£4).

If you go to smart restaurants or want foreign style food it will be (a lot) more expensive, fish is usually expensive.Wine is often over-priced. However, you can have a good meal out in a nice restaurant with a few drinks for as little as 20-30ytl per head if you choose carefully.

Answer 6

Not that cheap for ppl living in Turkey

people who live in Germany and they come with Euros

Answer 7

extremely cheap. i know  ten years ago we were buying a pizza and a can of coke in a restuarant for £1 and a large bottle of beer for 45p and 20 f**s for 35p obviously its not that cheap now but its still very good.

Answer 8

You just have to pick and choose where to eat and drink.

If you go to the main strip areas, find a back st restaurant rather then one overlooking the sea for example.

The same applies to the bars and have a few stiff ones before you go out.

Answer 9

If you're American, it's not very cheap. We were there nine months ago and found food prices to be either the same as here or more expensive. Definitely do not eat at any airports - we had a plate of fries and two sodas at a restaurant at the airport in Istanbul and it cost us $30US. A Whopper at Burger King was $8US - and that was just a burger, no fries or drinks.

We eventually started supplementing our meals with trips to the grocery store for bread and fruit. Fruit was incredibly cheap, a bag of oranges was only a few cents.
