Iran and Turkey daily travel budget
I'm looking at the daily costs of traveling through Iran and Turkey and possibly Armenia, and wonder what is the average cost of guest houses in each country.
I'm being quoted between US$70 to US$100 by a guide in Iran, but this seems a little steep.
No idea on Turkey and Armenia.. Still researching.

Food and accommodation is generally cheaper in Turkey than Western Europe, closer to Central Europe but has some of the most expensive petrol in the world as opposed to Iran which has some of the cheapest. It is a while since I was there but the cost for Iran sounds on the high side although there is no money to be saved by cutting down on .

Did those 3 countries last year. So it depends whether your a 5* person or otherwise. For me I'm happy with most any accommodation if the bed is clean. I found I could live no problem for $30 a day, fuel food and sleep. Fuel was so cheap in Iran - $3.50 to fill my 14 liter tank. In Ireland it'd be €20. Armenia is a little more expensive than Turkey or Iran. Of course if you go to the bigger cities you must inflate those figures a little.

Hello,
You can get good prices from many hotels including posh hotels this year because tourism will be slow this year. But you have to check the prices from booking.com or a similar site before you go to hotel and should negotiate on the price at the hotel or on phone.
Food is generally cheap. Just don't eat really cheap food (Like kebaps or doner and a drink for 5 liras (1.5 Euro)) unless you trust digestive and immune system very much. Usually foods for 10 -15 Liras (3-4 Euros) are okay. Or you can eat from Mcdonalds, Burger King or similar fast food chains. (Big Mac Menu is around 5 Euros)
Most of your spending in Turkey will be for the fuel. Right now Gasoline is around 1.35-1.40 Euro per liter.
Cheers,
Ozgur
Edit: Also I forgot to add the alcohol. It is also expensive. 0.5L local is around 2 Euros.
