Umm... this all worries me. All they bang on about is cheap food cheap drink and tbh I'd rather pay more to know my food has been cooked properly on a washed up plate with a H+S clue'd up chef.
Same with drinks.
I know I sound like a stuck up twat, but I think I have standards.

Pow is obviously using the stereotypical view to Turkey.
Get out there and I guarantee you will change your tune.

Although Robbo I have to say Marmaris is a bit of a tack fest...its like Southend in the sun!!
Altinkum and Kusadasi are much nicer and generally cheaper once you are there too due to being less 'developed'

It doesn't matter how much you pay for the food. It can still be crappy and make you sick.
There is a resturaunt near my parents that is posh and expensive. It got shut down for a year because of rat infestation and poor hygene. I have eaten food from all over the world and you'll find that in other countrys cheap food is usually great  It's cheap because they still know how to make it, where as here everything has to be made in a factory and 'cooked' in a microwave.

Dalaman was horrific till they built the new terminal
Marmaris is gash now, we went 4 times in a row and it was ACE... then it started getting a bit too rowdey so we went too ichmeller, then Trunch ( was nice and quiet... bit boring ) then last year Fhetiye WOW 5 star Club Letoonia, Its paradise
