Hotel prices and ticket costs are soaring in Türkiye as inflation hits tourism.
Turkish tourists are flocking to Greece as inflation makes it too expensive to travel within Turkey.
Inflation has surged in Türkiye in recent months, rocketing to 75.4 per cent in May, driven mainly by increases in hotel, cafe and restaurant prices.
“Actually, this problem started last year when the Turkish government took steps to suppress foreign currency,” Kivanç Meriç, Chairman of the Izmir Regional Representative Board of the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TÜRSAB), tells Euronews Travel.
