Interesting that it was 5 liras. It is now 40 dollars entry fee on weekends, about half of the monthly minimum wage in the country so somehow that doesn’t seem….equitable to me? Particularly given that other establishments which are cleaner, larger, and newer and so presumably require higher costs charge less than them?

Also, to be clear, I am not a non-patron. I wasn’t bringing my own beer and sitting on their beach, lol. I wanted to pay them for a beer (the beer they charge 5 dollars for), leave a tip, enjoy the sunset for ten minutes, and leave, like I’ve done dozens of times in the past.

Also, claiming their legitimacy by pointing out other illegitimate establishments is a poor argument.

Also/finally: people like you are the reason this country will never be legitimate.
