Local Beers and Spirits

I have never been to turkey so i dont know much about the local Alcohol

I am all inclusive and only local drinks are available, should i expect good quality Spirits and beer? or..........paraffin

Hi Greg, The local beer will be efes, it's a lager thats a bit like stella. My husband certainly likes it, a bit too much sometimes! The wines are a bit of an aquired taste, especially the cheap ones. They don't do many spirits here i dont think, the locals all drink Raki which is an aniseed drink like oozo in greece. They also have a brandy called Lara which isn't bad and a vodka which i can't remember the name of, which isn't bad. I'm not really much of a drinker, but I think I've got it right. If not I'm sure others will tell you.

Hi Greg

Friends of ours went last year to Holiday Village and they have Becks on draught

nice but i bet thats one of the beers you have to pay for and not get free on all inclusive (hope i am wrong)

I went to the holiday village in 2006 , you get efes ,becks and fosters on draught all free, but they hardley ever had any fosters left.
Spirits you can get free are vodka, raki, 5 or 6 flavours of schnapps and thats about it . you pay for all other major brand spirits.

hope this helps

thanks ginkster is there anymore information you can tell me about the holiday village that will help?

Hi Everyone ,

I believe that Lagers in the Holiday Village are half water and half water ...Efes Beer is realy good , tastes great and is strong...You feel like drinking a ice cold Beer in the Sun ,mmm...Thats why from time to time i used to sneak out of the complex into the Village and sat in Steak House with my ice cold Efes Beer , votka and snaps are not bad in the Hotel ..BUT THE BEER/LAGER IS BIG PROBLEM

now I must go back to my Vodka
