To avoid "last year menu" scam, not only ask to confirm that the menu is current but also take a picture of it. Some restaurants give you one menu to order off of but bring a different, higher priced menu with your bill.
I find this solution by Dan puzzling because nobody would even think the menu given by staff would not be current, that's a big time scam (best advice from Dan read reviews before). There should be something like the better business bureau to protect the consumer, if not they will eventually be shut down by word of mouth (poor reviews).
That's very nice how you call it predatory behavior I just call them a bunch of rip-off artists places like this I don't even stop by I don't even bother going to them because if that's how you're being treated at the restaurant and when you go get a phone card why would any human being with a normal right mind want to be part of something like that
As a Greek American, where two of my Greek grandparents were born and forcibly removed from their homes after WWI and lost all their property to the Turkish govt. And where the Turks killed a million Greeks and many more Armenians, there's no way I would retire in Turkey.
The Greco-Turkish War started after the Greeks burned İzmir/Smyrna Turkey. Greek forces provoked war by invading the city of İzmir/Smyrna on May 15, 1919. The Greek Cypriots claim that the Cyprus problem was caused by the landing of Turkish troops in 1974 and that if only they would withdraw, the problem would be solved. This is a serious misconception, for the modern Cyprus question began in 1960 and the landing of Turkish troops was the consequence, not the cause, of the problem. "Bloody Christmas" massacre by Greek Cypriots and nearly 30.000 Turkish Cypriots who were forced out from their homes became refugees.
I’m half Armenian. My paternal grandparents were survivors of the Armenian genocide. Nevertheless , I don’t blame modern Turks and I’d have no problem visiting or retiring in Türkiye.
Hi @paulhefner2813, I don't maintain data on tax rule changes. It is often wrong the day after you learn it. But I can tell you that there is a good chance that an accountant specializing in international tax matters would know how to set up an entity in a tax haven that would reduce taxes in whatever separate country you decide to live or retire. If I had more money I would do that research and share it on my channel. Because that would be more useful permanent information possibly than a general statement without understanding the legal loopholes that are in every country. If you learn about anyone tax professional that has that information, please let me know. I would like to interview them on my channel. Sorry about that, Dan

Good food there. Stray cat heaven
I recomend visiting Alanya, Turkey. It is the most beautiful and popular city for tourists in Turkey. I have been there many times
Just avoid tourist areas. It's annoying and exhausting.
Very good general advice. :-)

Yes, reviews are great because they reward the good guys and punish the bad.

Thanks for your thoughts. Like all groups of people, the few give everyone else a bad name.
It seems like you must get ready to enter the battle ground for eating foods in the restaurant in the Bodrum.
Good to know
NOT for me…
We aim to please.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. History does make a difference for many people.
Oh we were all wondering what your thoughts were😂

I need summer place somewhere in Philippines. Where so you recommend? Not in the city. Little distance from city life.
