How Much Spending Money Do I Need In Marmaris?
I have never been to Turkey before was unsure of how much money me and my husband will need for two weeks. Any suggestions?
How much spending money you need very much depends on your spending habits as well as holiday activities. Overall Marmaris is relatively cheap, popular for its affordable all inclusive holiday packages, especially for the UK holiday makers.
The amount of your spending will depend on your travel style. Marmaris can be both expensive and cheap depending on the places you choose to eat out and entertain. For the Turkish Marmaris is overpriced in general terms. Still the view yes is worth the trouble.
If you stay at the beach throughout the day you must be prepared for prices a bit above the average. Expect about 15 Euros or 10 GBP per person in a decent place to eat, and drinks are about 5euros or 3 GBP in the nightclubs. English and Scottish breakfasts served in most restaurants cost only about 6 GBP per person. Turkish breakfasts are more expensive and cost about 7-8 GBP per person.
Budget Travellers’ Tips
If you’re a budget traveller you are looking to spend around €50 a day in a low season. This includes budget hotel accommodation, public transportation and cheap eats.
If you love the finer things in life
Try to spend a couple of days out of Marmaris in nearby Turunc, Orhaniye or Akyaka. Or small villages in Turgut Orhaniye, Selimiye, Camlik (where the island of Cleopatra is) and Bozburun with the most famous beaches, natural and historical sights, sunsets of Turkey. These places are quiet but very “romantic couple” type. Smaller towns are often more expensive and a longer stay could steal the charm. Travellers report the need to save money for those smaller towns.
Maybe car rental prices are a bit more expensive but you’ll visit the best beaches and places where Turkish fishermen families have been living for a long time. Taxi boats and daily boat trips from Marmaris are a great alternative to reach many vibrant destinations from Marmaris.
