Syrup in Marmaris?
Re: Syrup
You can buy the syrup in Kipa, about 2 weeks ago I was in there and I saw one lonely jar of Lyles Golden Syrup sitting on the shelf, there was no price marked on the shelf so took it to the cash out when I paid for my bits to see how much it was ??? the price was, wait for it, waittttt........ 31.50 TL !!!, so I know that 'Lyles' is still sitting on the shelf somewhere :0)
You could try making it, or buying it online is also cheap, or get supplies from friend coming over.
Ingredients
200g sugar
50g water
1 kg sugar
600g boiling water
2 slice lemon
Method
1. Pour 200g sugar and 50g water into a large saucepan. On medium heat, twirl the pot around and caramelise the sugar until a dark golden colour.
2. Add the boiling water, the kilo sugar and lemon slices.
3. On low heat boil for 45 minutes until thick (stir it ocassionally if you must or leave it alone to do its own thing).
4. Cool and pour into sterilised jars or bottles. Label and store in a cool place.
TIPS
1. The syrup when hot will always look watery but will thicken when cooled.
2. If you find after cooling the syrup is not thick enough, don't panic - boil it again for a few more minutes.
3. On the other hand if you find after cooling the syrup is way too thick, make up another half recipe, add the 'hard' syrup in as well and boil it all together for less than the required 45 minutes.
4. Do not throw away the discarded lemon slice. It taste just like candied lemons.
Everyone will be making Golden Syrup now !!!!! Get cooking :0)

Re: Syrup
I'm sure that I saw Golden Syrup in the Import Shop in Marmaris - further along from the George and Dragon going out of central Marmaris. Others - SonnyJim? - may be able to give better directions.

Syrup in Marmaris?
Re: Syrup
On the main road into Marmaris from down the mountain,past the first set of traffic lights and the Shell garage but before the second set of lights outside Bim. You'll see a wholesaler shop named Engins on the right just before the green and yellow Pehlivanoglu supermarket.
They are the stockists for most of the import shops in Marmaris and considerably cheaper than you will find anywhere else. The manager's name is Kubilay and he speaks good English and is very helpful.They have a good stock of English foods available and I've seen Tate and Lyles golden syrup in there,along with Branston pickle,Heinz tomato soup,custard,Oxo cubes,Heinz salad cream, Lime Juice.........etc.

Re: Syrup
Another recipe here, i make invert sugar for some of my beermaking.
Bennachie Brewery of Scotland All Grain Brewing Heaven for Beer Geeks.: Belgian Candi Sugar at home.
I make hard crack candi rocks at 300degC which add another layer of flavour and keeps the beer light. There is a link at the bottom of the page to a good candi making info site. The orange flavoured candi i made last time took me straight back to the fairground as a kid!
