Me (France, based on my own approximations)

2017 : 6€
2024 : 9€

I could be wrong but I don't think you've accounted for the change in rate over time. 1 euro was about 4 lira in 2017 so 2017 was more like 50c. Today 1 euro is about 35 lira so it's about 6 to 7 euros at 220 lira. Crazy when you think that's about the price of a kebab in in euro/UK but compare income here to Turkey.

Oh you're 100% right, i just typed the number I had to pay, without accounting for inflation and the true cost
