are being left out of pocket, as it's reported that the price of beers has risen to £5, while jet skis can be rented for a whopping £200 for two hours.

A third said: "Turkey is so expensive now. I went to Marmaris. I will never go to Turkey again."

A fourth fumed: "Won't be going back to Side. Nearly £1,3000 spent between two people for five days and that was doing no excursions, having two meals a day and barely drinking."

However, other people disagree with the claims. They explained that it depends on where you visit, and there are still some cheaper areas of the city.

One person said: "Still cheaper than the UK." A second added: "I disagree. I live here, and Antalya is a huge place. Again, depends where you go. We live here and don't spend crazy money at all."
