Where East Meets West: Why Live in Turkey?

There are many fantastic places to live all over the globe, but if you are searching for somewhere with sunshine and interesting culture, Turkey could be the perfect place for you.

It has been popular for decades with holidaymakers who are looking to escape from their usual routines, but retirees have also frequently chosen Turkey as the place to live out their golden years. It does have plenty to offer the younger crowds too, however, so if you have been thinking about relocating abroad, here are some great reasons to choose Turkey.

Affordable Living

The cost of living is increasing in the UK, and while this is also impacting other countries around the world, some economies are doing better than others. It has been forecast that Turkey’s economy will thrive in 2023, with predictions that will set it as the world’s 10th largest economy. This can not only result in more career prospects for ex-pats but also create a better standard of living. It is generally considered that Turkey can offer affordable living costs, allowing those who live there a more comfortable lifestyle overall.

A Rich Culture

While career prospects and standards of living are important to consider, having the opportunity to experience an interesting and rich culture in the place you live can also be beneficial. In Turkey, you will get to sample some incredible cuisine that has been influenced by the Mediterranean, Middle East and Eastern European dishes and flavours. It certainly is an incredible destination for food lovers, but that isn’t all this country has to offer in terms of culture. There are various historical sites to explore, including Topkapi Palace and Galata Tower in Istanbul, or you could enjoy an incredible hike through the Red Valley in the Cappadocia region. These are just a few examples of all the incredible sites and experiences you could have in Turkey.

A Good Property Market

It’s a Safe Place to Live

In every country, there will be areas that can be riskier to live in than others, whether that is a region or part of a city that has a higher crime rate. There are areas in Turkey that can pose a greater risk than others, such as the Turkey-Syria border, but Turkey can be a very safe and welcoming country to live in. Some of the best locations for ex-pats include Istanbul, Bodrum, Antalya, Izmir, and Marmaris.

If you have been considering moving abroad, whether that is to enjoy retirement or to find better opportunities for yourself, make sure you take a look at Turkey, as it could be the ideal place for you.
