Our intention is to give information for those considering moving to Turkey or those already here, particularly those finding their way around. It is not our intention to develop this as a commercial site.
Where links are made to commercial organisations it is where we believe that such contacts will be useful to the target visitor to this site. We hope that much of the information will be applicable to all of Turkey.
Well, what is living in Turkey really like for an ex-pat? One thing it is NOT is a longer version of your annual two week holiday in Bodrum. It is exciting, frustrating, fun, too hot, too cold, too lonely, too busy, too quiet, too noisy. In short it can be all things to all people and at this stage we have no idea whether you will enjoy or even survive the challenge of living in a foreign country. We do know that good capital appreciation, fabulous natural resources and beaches, and a booming tourist industry - indications show that for those looking to buy overseas property, Turkey is an excellent option either for a holiday home, an investment property or a permanent place to live. Our property in Turkey for sale covers all the most popular regions and spans two superb coastlines – The Aegean & the Mediterranean - offering 'bargain’ property from 20,000 euros in a currently prosperous and sustainable market.
What we do know is that your chances of success are increased massively if you have done your homework in advance. What do we mean by that? Well, nowadays, there are many sites on the Internet where you can gain all kinds of information about emigration in general and about emigrating to Turkey in particular. They can all help. One I always recommend is the Expat Forum which strives to be a welcoming community where experienced ex-pats living all over the world offer first hand advice. The help offered may not be as pretty as the dream but it is genuine and offered by caring members who want you to learn from their experiences and mistakes. The Expat forum is a true mix of members with interests all over the globe. The mix includes those who are starting to think about emigrating and retiring all the way through to members who have been enjoying the Ex-pat way of life for many years. Feel free to sign up and be a part of the community.
As you visit the different sections of this site you will find information about many aspects of Life in Turkey. Turkey has moved forward at a tremendous pace over the past thirty years and we would like to share with you a little of "Turkey Today"
This site can only be of benefit if it is current and is constantly being upgraded. The speed with which Turkey is changing means that we are always under pressure to update it.
Please use the contact page to forward the editor your suggestions, amendments and improvements!
We wish you every success with your new life or simply a happy holiday if you are visiting as a tourist. If there is anything we can do to help, please do not hesitate to ask.
