I visited Turkey recently for 7 days and had a great experience.
The scene is Scene has improved recently. Pricing was fair.
Spent about $144/day on the hobby side. Best part was how easy everything was.
Overall: 9/10. One of my favourites.
Happy to answer questions.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $118/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $59/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.
