A QUICK GUIDE FOR THE UK TOURIST OF FETHIYE
MONEY..........Take sterling you can normally get a better rate than in England and the stall holders like to take sterling rather than lira. The exception to this seems to be restaurant they seem to prefer lira. Also the hotel and restaurants as in U.K. are more expensive than the local shops and pubs a bottle of wine maybe seven million at shop will be as much as thirty five million in the hotel or a restaurant.
BARTER .............This is usually expected you will usually find you can half the price try walking away after you have made an offer
BREAKFASTS..................Most places do English breakfast but bacon is hard to come by in Turkey. So if you like a good bacon sandwich take some with you. The people are very helpful and will usually cook it for you and the sausage is usually a garlic type.
If you need a dentist or doctor these are reasonable and good having recently broken a tooth while on holiday I was impressed by the service though the surgery was not as clinical as in England. Ask a local about services like this before you go recommendation of pricing and service are always useful.
BOAT TRIPS ...........are popular but watch the prices these can very by as much as 50% and some include food and some don't. If you are in Çaliş remember Fethiye beach is only a short boat or bus ride and they book trip from there as well.
