Man ordered a vodka coke in British tourist hotspot and was 'mindblown' at the bill

Holidaymakers have been warned they might need a bigger budget for their trip to this popular resort

There's nothing quite like sipping your tipple of choice in the sunshine while you are on your travels - but if you're heading to this holiday hotspot, you better brace yourself for when the bill comes.

As according to this bloke, you can't even order an alcoholic beverage anymore without it blowing through your budget.

He fears that price hikes at the popular location could tank its success and explained that he is concerned that tourists might start booking elsewhere to avoid the rising costs.

Thousands of Brits flock there each year for a break in the sunshine, but the social media user (@marmarislovers) claims that the place has been eerily 'quiet' this summer.

Saying it was 'sad to see' Marmaris, in Turkey, look so empty, he said that he reckons that price surges could prove to be the final nail in the coffin for the usually popular travel destination.

And seen as though these comments have come from a man who says he runs the 'number one Marmaris page', holidaymakers are taking heed of his warning.

In a video shared on TikTok, he aired his grievances about how the Turkish municipality has changed.

The man said: "Honestly think [that] in 2025, Marmaris will have no tourists at all.

"This season has been so quiet, it's sad to see."

He warned that there is set to be a '15 percent price increase' incoming, which he wasn't very happy about due to the fact he has been charged through the teeth for a vodka coke as it is.

The TikToker claimed that he has been forking out £15 for the drink and remarked: "Can go Dubai for same price."

It's safe to say he wasn't very happy when his bill arrived for the bevvy - and social media users have been left just as shocked by the alleged price increases.

One person said: "No wonder, never had so many restaurants and bars try to rip me off as I've had this year in Marmaris."

Another added: "We are here now... years ago, this place was banging. But not now, the atmosphere is not here. Can't wait to get home next week."

A third added: "The money I've spent here, I could have done a banging 10/10 Thailand holiday."

While a fourth wrote: "Our most expensive ever family holiday, had an amazing time but could never afford those prices again!"

But others weren't ready to write Marmaris off just yet and said that they had still been able to find budget-friendly places to eat and drink.

One fan of the place said: "I would love to know where this £15 vodka and Coke is. I've been paying like 250 lira (£5.60) for two?"

Another commented: "Having a fab time personally."

A third wrote: "I went in May, best holiday ever! Honestly don't know what people are moaning about."
