I would say on the balance of payments, risks have actually decreased, not increased.

Anezka ChristovovaGUEST

17:59

And I think the latest decision we had from the central bank probably does not change anything to that judgment as of now.

I buy a small bag of wild thyme honey.

Emre YilmazHOST

It is about 150 Turkish liras.

Emre YilmazHOST

2:12

roughly four and a half dollars.

Emre YilmazHOST

A small luxury.

Emre YilmazHOST

2:15

I have enough credit for the Dalmas ride later, which is good because cash is officially dead on these routes.

The price of this cappuccino was around 147 Turkish Liras, which feels steep for a single drink, but about $4 if you are used to American prices.

Emre YilmazHOST

1:33

It is not just the coffee that costs more, everything does.

Emre YilmazHOST

Emre YilmazHOST

1:44

A meal at an inexpensive local restaurant might set you back around 410 Turkish Liras, roughly $12, but rent is another story entirely.

Emre YilmazHOST

1:53

I know people paying around 33,900 Turkish Liras a month for a one-bedroom flat in the city center, which is over a thousand US dollars.

Emre YilmazHOST

2:01

For those outside the center, it is closer to 23,750 Turkish Liras or 720 dollars.

Emre YilmazHOST

2:09

These figures are approximate based on recent listings, but they show the pressure on the local economy even as tourism winds down.

I took the Dalmas South to Kayaköy, the abandoned Greek village perched on the hills above Fethi.

Emre YilmazHOST

1:13

The bus ride costs about 40 Turkish Liras, roughly $1.20, a fraction of what you would pay for a taxi, and the view of the coastline stretching toward Gacek is worth the short hop.

Emre YilmazHOST

1:25

Kayaköy, or Levisai as it was known, is a place of profound silence.

I walked along the edge of Belsikis Beach, watching a few locals swim in the calm lagoon.

Emre YilmazHOST

2:38

The cost of a Dalmas ticket from Fethi to Uludniz is around 50 Turkish Liras, roughly $1.50, and honestly, sitting by the water for an hour costs nothing but time.

The post-season calm is the real magic of the Lishan coast in late September.
