A travel expert has revealed a three-course meal for two in a mid-range restaurant in London costs around £80; whereas in Ankara, Turkey, it is just £22.17.
Jorge Díaz Largo, CEO and Founder of Hellotickets, says, “For Brits wanting to keep their costs low, Turkey offers a relatively inexpensive holiday experience, from flights and accommodation to food and activities.”
While there is no ‘cheapest time’ to book, it is recommended you book as far in advance as possible to keep costs low. Tour operators also offer discounts for early bookings.
The average cost of a pint of beer is around £2.30, imported wine is around £5 per glass, but a bottle of local craft wine costs just £10.
One establishment in particular is ‘NRY Restaurant’ in Ankara, serving turkish dishes, pizza, street food and chinese cuisine.
One customer said “great ambience, good food and value for money” is one of the reasons they love it so much. This is just one of many glowing reviews, praising the affordable venue with a classy atmosphere.
Largo also advises that tourists join loyalty programmes of airlines, hotels and tour operators to accumulate points and receive member-exclusive discounts.
Ultimately, booking in advance will allow you to take advantage of early-bird rates and search around for the best deals.
