Geyikbayiri - Turkey 19-Feb-2013 At 12:35:40 PM trog

I was there around 2 years ago - Josito's was fine then. There are a few other places like climbers garden (CG closer to the sunny climbs, further from the shady sectors... but all pretty compact really), but Josito's is the easiest for consumer climbing - lots of people flying in a for a week or 2 from Germany, Austria etc get all meals etc made for you, picked up from the airport etc.

We had wheels, so shopping wasn't a problem and we cooked for ourselves most nights. Apparently the markets down the hill are tourist prices - where people from the city go to feel like they are getting a bargain, but aren't really. Still not bad for local produce.

The meals the campsite did seem to vary from average pasta to very tasty BBQ fish - it's worth picking which nights you don't cook yourself (euro 8-10 i think). Beer was expensive (2.50), but is everywhere in turkey. All the campsite prices were in Euro.

We spent 2 weeks in Geyikbayiri compared to 7 on Kaly... felt about right :)

Turkey is awesome though, we spent more time just poking around places like Cappadoccia, Heraklia, Istanbul, and the coast up towards Bodrum, than actually climbing in Turkey.
