It’s a famous resort town and thus everything is a little bit too expensive.

==Hitching Out==
===West towards [[Antalya]]===
From city centre (around the yacht marina the ’Red Tower’ where bars are gathered), walk towards the direction of Antalya or Istanbul as shown by the not-very-common signs, and after about a walk of 30 minutes mostly through the neighbourhoods full of concrete hotels, you will arrive to the edge of town. Consider quitting the town completely, as many cars will still turn to side alleys after where you think is far enough from the city centre. Don’t walk too away though, as there is a tunnel (which you can’t walk through) very near where the town really ends, and it’s not a good idea to thumb right immediately at its entrance as the shoulder gets really narrow to pull over there. Expect to wait two hours for a lift, as local people here are mean -though not disrespectful- or timid. Don’t refuse lift offers for [[Avsallar]], a town about 20-25 km west, where you can get quicker lifts.
There also seems to be secluded spots to sleep rough inside the city walls (when entered from the gate next to the Red Tower, ''Kızıl Kule''). Just walk uphill for a few minutes to be far enough from any house.
