        Lots of modest accomodations are $30-40 a night, less in off-season. These would be the same that perhaps 6-8 years ago were more like $8-10 a night. Transportation has also gone up in cost (due to really high petrol prices) - Istanbul to Ankara can run $40 one way for a quality bus. However, if you want to do the youth hostel thing, prices are less, of course.

          40 lira maybe? Just for the very cheapest lodging and food.
          If you take night buses you don't have to get a hotel, so you have no transportation costs.
