High Prices at Seranda?????
Hi to everybody,
I'm in Istanbul since 2 months and I have one month left.Then I'm returning to Austria. In February I'll come to Istanbul again. Maybe I'll see some members here in the czech republic and slowakia forums.
I'm a newbie at this forum but I have read almost every report about Istandbul in the last days to get Informmation about the nightlife scene. With all the Info I've got I decided to go to Seranda this night.
I payed the entry which was 30YTL and got a seat at the bar and some beer. It was like 23:00 when I arrived there. but there were only 2 girls sitting in the disco. I decided tto wait. After half an hour 15 girls arrived, most of them were realy beautiful. 15 Minutes later some girls started to dance. I went to a blonde russian girl and said "hi"! I really behaved politely to the girl asked for her name and did some small talk. But she wasn't that polite. I felt like she really was uninterested. Then I asked for the prices. She told me 130YTL for 1time and 170 for 2times. I told her "you mean 130YTL for 1hour and 170YTL for 2 hours". She was like "No, 130YTL for 1time and 170 for 2times comming" then I said bye and went to another girl. I asked her and it was the same thing. With all my motivation lost I decided to get my car and drive around to get some freelancer. But there were no girls at the streets anymore only some guys who were looking around for some "nonexistent" girls and some drug dealers. It also began to rain after a time and I decided to drive home. It was a bad night for having fun and maybe I had no luck. But I'm happy that I have not been ripped off. :)
I must say a lot of members here only talk about aksaray and laleli district. It's contains a lot of Information which helps newbies not to get ripped off but I would like to see more Information about other places too. It can't be that Istanbuls girls scene is only reduced to the Aksaray Laleli district. That would be very nice.
realistic prices and timing...
Recently, the right time for action has been pushed up a little bit and the girls seem to appear in scene after 1.30 a.m.
In case you're a foreigner or have the obvious look of a first-time visitor, naturally the girls will try to squeeze you to the last dollar you've got..
However, you should be patient and eager enough to pay not more than 75 bucks for the 2hrs and 100 bucks for the night in places like Irmak,Serenda and Balance..
On the other hand, the price range shouldn't exceed 150 bucks for the 2hrs and 200 bucks for the night in Bacardi...
Current status of Bacardi...
Can anyone confirm that Bacardi, Seranda, and Irmak still have a good scene for young Eastern European girls?
I'm traveling there next week and will give a report when I return, but would love an update from anyone who visited those places recently. This will be my first visit to the area. Seems that Bacardi is the best choice for young looks, though prices may be a little higher. Since I'm only there for a short period, I don't mind paying a little more for the best. :)
I've read most of the recent reports and am a little confused if the police action has left these places dry.
Any other recommendations?
Thanks.
