Heard that Ya beles, might be opening a fruit and veg stall in Tatlisu.

hope so, love my fresh veg

Let us know as we are in Esentepe.

They have a price policy depending on what the local competition is.
Alsancack prices are more than ozankoy due to more competition.

Surely more competition means cheaper prices?

Not necessarily. I've bought apples, bananas and some veg in Ya Beles at exactly the same price as Lemar down the road. If they see people paying at an increased price in Lemar, its almost like "well if they'll pay xxtl there, then they'll pay it here" The norm doesn't always apply here frontalman as you know.

Whereabouts in Ozankoy is Ya Beles please? I only know the one at Catalkoy on the main road.

Very true, and Sally thinks that Ya Beles can be very expensive. I was applying normal economic parameters but hey this is Cyprus!
