Looks a lovely place it really does , I loge the sea with all waves it’s brilliant. Food did genuinely look fantastic and something id eat all day long , cheers and have a lovely weekend 👍
We took Turkish lira and had no problems. If you go to market or shops they will have items marked up in Euros but will convert into lira for you. Better rate for lira I found. Have a wonderful time. If you have any other questions please ask, we may know the answer. Lol
Restaurants we paid in lira, most have lira and euro prices on menu. We found also better lira rate out there than we got here. We went to market on wrong day so that was disappointing for us. So ask a rep if you see one. Front desk told us wrong info on market day. Markets for fake goods are normally in Euros but will convert into lira for you. . Always haggle with them, be surprised what they drop it too. If you watch our lunch and shopping vlog this will show you nearby shops. Also room to negotiate on price. Look around before buying as shops sell same items but prices aren't the same. Hence you will see in the vlog when I bought my grandsons spiderman top. Happy holiday

Good morning, Thank you for your comments, made good reading whilst drinking my coffee . Thank you also for subscribing we do appreciate it. Alanya is one of my favourite destinations. How lucky are you too be living their. UK is hit and miss with the weather but will do have some nice coastline. We went to Alanya first time about ten years ago, we have come in March and october and this year was in May. Weather has always been delightful. Thank you again for your messages, have a lovely day.
@@steveandcarole Thanks both. Interesting that you've been a few times. And yea I'm very fortunate to live here 🙏 The coastline of Wales particularly, is one of my favourites. I used to live in Cardiff, for about 7 years, when I was teaching English there. That's a nice clean city. My favourite destinations ...Tenby and particularly Caldey Island. Spent many Summers there with my kids. Never had bad weather, as it has a microclimate, palm trees etc. It can rain incessantly though, but I was lucky I suppose 👍 The Swansea Gower Coast also....favourite was Rhossili Bay. Wales is mainly undiscovered, clean, fresh and with vast deserted beaches. Okay 👌 Be good both 😉 👍
So beautiful, thank you.
Thank you for watching
Hi how much do the sundbed cost?
Thank you for your message. Sun bed was 40 turkish lira. If you want an umbrella they were also 40 turkish lira.
@@steveandcarole not bad we were in italy there it was 20 euro for two sunbed and umbrella
Wow that's expensive. Haven't been to Italy for many years would love to go back but sounds like prices are extortionate.
Looks a lovely place it really does , I loge the sea with all waves it’s brilliant. Food did genuinely look fantastic and something id eat all day long , cheers and have a lovely weekend 👍
Thanks and have a lovely weekend yourself
Looks gorgeous. Glad that your having a lovely time. Xx

One last question hopefully lol was it euros or lira in the restraunts and are the markets that sell the fake designer stuff nearby thankyou

Ps
23c ☀ that day. In this 2nd video.
However Turks dressed like it's winter, because that's not hot to them, like the British media says it's a "scorcher" if ☀ appears in 🇬🇧.
April doesn't get busy with tourism, until about 5 days after this. So it's mostly Turks at these bazaars.
After May it's usually packed with tourists.
So the European or Scandinavian people, you might see in marts like this in April, are ex pats.
They'll have t-shirts and shorts on ☺ or light clothing
Tourism finishes 2nd week of November, it's still 22-24c.
Bye-bye
