Frequently Asked Questions
How much does food cost per day in Marmaris?
Budget travellers spending £20–30/day can eat well on street food and local restaurants. Mid-range visitors spending £50–70/day can enjoy proper restaurant meals with drinks. Fine dining tourists spending £100+/day can experience Marmaris's best restaurants without restriction.
Is food expensive in Marmaris?
Compared to UK prices, Marmaris food is very affordable. A full sit-down dinner in a mid-range restaurant costs what you would pay for a meal deal in London. Even fine dining at the marina is noticeably cheaper than equivalent UK restaurants.
Are meals at all-inclusive hotels cheaper than eating out?
All-inclusive hotels are excellent value and effectively eliminate all food costs. However, if you are staying half-board or self-catering, dining out in Marmaris is very affordable and more interesting than eating in.
How much does a beer cost in Marmaris?
A half-litre bottle of Efes (the excellent local Turkish lager) costs £2–3 at a budget restaurant or beach bar, £4–6 at a mid-range restaurant, and £6–9 at fine dining venues. Cocktails at rooftop or marina bars run £10–18.
