I did a road trip in Turkey a few years ago... Istanbul, then along the Dardenelles (Troy and Gallipoli), ferry to Canakkele, Ayvalik, Izmir, Cesme, Kusedasi, and Bodrum. I love the country. My next trip will be from Bodrum to Fethiye, Kas, Antalya, and Alanya. I am in my mid 50s and Turkey is definitely on my retirement cards.
If I wanted to rent a AirBnB for one month only in Turkey, give me your top 3 cities that I should target for that? Use the criteria that you are trying to sell me on the idea of retiring there as an Expat.
@@sirgalahad1470 That would depend on what you like. If you want to still be in the heart of the, cosmopolitan city action with anonymity, lots shopping and great views, choose Istanbul. If you want a classy, Monagesque-type lifestyle, live along the harbor area of Cesme. A youthful, vibey, touristic feel can be found in Bodrum. Still keen to see the rest, though! I would seriously suggest taking a visit and checking it out to get a personal "feel" for each city.
@@AndreDMalan1966 Thanks so much! I might start with Istanbul then. But everything you describe is appealing. I know one thing, I love Turkish food. I had a lot of it this past summer in Berlin.
My wife and I moved to Abu Dhabi for a year, it was nice. We are thinking about going to turkey in a few years, do you know anything about how they might compare?
@@Qmohd1 Here are some advantages and disadvantage in moving to Turkey; Cost of living is cheaper like home renting, food, entertainments, cell phone services, internet...all those expensives are way less than Abu Dhabi...buying a car is not though. Depends on where you want to live in Turkey the weather can be an advantage than UAE. Disadvantage, is the language, they hardly speak English here, some cities are not organized, system here is still backwards. Over all its beautiful here.
@@hanialturk5981 yes the English language is a issue , but only when you want advise , when your parting with money , they seem to understand it fine lol . . . I think like the French , they have alot of pride in there language and don't wish to speak it . . . I have a couple of Turkish friends in Turkey and they have a dislike of foreign Turks speaking English. . . . Mind you , Google translate does wonders !
I had people from Europe/Serbia, Bosnia,England etc as well Russian and my USA friends and ALL OF THEM SAID ALL THE BEST ABOUT TURKEY. I have 3 family's from USA went to vocation and NEVER come back. It's like Mars and Earth..Healthcare, caring for animals, friendly and very respectful great living for money...Thank you for so much AMAZING exponation and lots of information especially being single female in unknown country. So PROUD OF YOU and your guests..❤🙏🤗
Australia here Actively making plans to leave here and move to Turkey Their pragmatism re: 'you know what' is one of the main reasons compared to what we're experiencing here The culture, history, food, lifestyle, landscapes, cost of living and friendly Turks are all added bonuses
Australia, 😢 never thought I’d see your country treat it’s own people this way. I hope you can find a way out. Some day there will be accountability for these actions. Good luck to you.
The 1650 TL a year you pay for state healthcare covers all pre-existing conditions, emergency services including ambulance service, all medical expenses including medications as well as full coverage for cancer/heart disease etc. It also covers a portion of private healthcare services in hospitals with contracts with the government single payer system. Private health insurance will cost about 5000 TL a year but can be lower depending on coverage and network. Always opt for state and university hospitals for emergency care as they are much better staffed during off-hours. You are always told how much you will have to pay before admittance so there are no surprises and you can choose between government and private coverage as sometimes using the government system is cheaper or not worth using your private insurance.For example a doctor's appointment with a professor at a private hospital will cost you something like 25 USD extra on government insurance so it won't be worth bumping up future private insurance premiums for that amount of out-of-pocket payment.
Thank you so much...great and helpful information. I'm considering retiring in Antalya in the near future...is there a website for state Healthcare insurance? Please share the link if possible...thanks a lot.
My wife and I have been thinking about moving to Turkey. I am an American expat who spent over 20 years in Prague. My wife is a native Ukrainian but has Czech citizenship and I have Permanent residence. Currently we both live in her hometown in Ukraine. I am retired as my wife does not work. We were in Turkey last summer (Marmaris) and I fell in love with the place. However we have been getting reports from my wife's Russian speaking friends that prices in Turkey have been going thru the roof so we are a bit dubious. I had planned to visit Turkey for a month or more this spring to try and sort out where to live. I want to rent for a while before buying. This video has given me renewed interest.
If you’re on the Lira there has been inflation, if you’re on dollars it’s pretty cheap still. If her relatives are on the ruble it may be a different story for their currency.
Hi, my hometown is Antalya, now I am living in Germany. I would say Antalya is the one of the most beautiful place to live on Earth. Now there is a currency crisis in Turkey and local people's salaries sunked around 400-500$. Minimum wage is around 350$. It is not used to be of course. Anyway you can live Antalya with 800$ but if you want to enjoy the city, you need at least 1200-1300$. The best thing from Antalya is surrounding beaches,historicak cities etc. And you need to buy a car. Unfortunalety car prices in Turkey is around 2x, 3x compared to western countries. I think this is an important cost. For example the car I bought in Germany was 2000€ in here, when I checked prices in Turkey it is around 8000€. You can bring you car if you want to settle down but it is limited to 6 months.
Hey dear, I am a businessman in construction & real estate investment in Australia. I am planning to move to antalya. But due to the current situation of the currency inflation quiet worried to invest their. What do suggest now regarding construction & real estate investment is good their.. Thx
@@adnanafghanaustralia7138 we don't know :) it is hard to make a forecast for Turkish economy and currency. It would raise in Turkish Lira this is clear, but I have some doubts about real estate prices in US Dollars.
Ms Greene! I've been to the same places as you have! and I feel the exact same way. Being an Expat is my dream. Turkey is the place I want to live as well.
Very nice and useful vídeo. The couple has a excellent vibe and they know how interact with the guests. Frankly, the best informative channel. Thank yConou and congrats from Brazil. PS: I will see the videos about Bulgaria.
Great video, looking forward to a Turkish residence video. I'm retired and slow traveling the Balkans, currently in Serbia. I spent 2 months in Turkey last summer and want to go back for a long term stay.
I can’t thank ya’ll enough for this video and your channel in general. In addition to Istanbul, I am interested in moving to Antalya since it is smaller. Thank you for interviewing Miss Greene. I might get in touch with her.
I’ve been to Istanbul a couple of times and would love to visit Antalya in the winter. Now that my fiancé and have a baby, Antalya’s slow paced would be best for us. Thank you for volunteering Ms. Greene. I will definitely get in touch with you when we come and visit. I enjoy this interview thoroughly.
Your videos and info on Turkey is so good and enjoyed your conversation with Ms Green She reminded me of one of my favorite Sidcomm actress. I am ready to make a move and with a ridiculously low cost of housing and great food you cant ask for more. Thanks WnJ for yet another fine informational video on Turkey. Cheers!
Hello ms Green. My husband and I are retired Afro Americans currently living in Istanbul. We will be looking for an apartment in Antalya in February for the warmer weather. (It is currently snowing in Istanbul.) I would love to meet you and have coffee ☕️ (turkish kahve that is ☺️)
Her email is in the video description, feel free to email me at warrenjulietravel@gmail.com and I’ll put you in contact if you can’t locate it. Thanks for watching 😁
Hello there Warren and Julie, my wife and I have been following your Journey on RUclips for a little over a month. We just moved to Antalya from Ohio a few days ago. We would love to meet up with you guys in person if you would be interested! Thank you for all your posts and videos they are so informational.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for showing a menu at the end, I was wondering what Ms. Greene would eat in Turkey. Looks a usual variety of things the average American would like.
Hi!! I was in Antalya last year in the summer and hated. Cause it was too hot for me could not tolerate the heat. I’m planning to return this year 2022 in September with my husband to be. So I’m looking forward to return and be able to stay for long time hopefully. I hope I can meet with you. I’m from California retired nurse, love turkey been twice already
Last summer was awfully hot in Europe, Belgrade Serbia and Lviv Ukraine were 100+ Fahrenheit many days. That said it was probably hotter in Antalya. This has been a colder than normal winter in Antalya so every year can vary. This said late June to mid September are supposed to be the hottest times for the area. I hear overall September is a decent weather month so I hope you experience better temperatures when you return.
@@WarrenJulieTravel will like if possible to get in touch with the American lady. It will be very nice to know someone who already knows the aérea. Please let me know if you can help me in this regard. Thank you
I just met Julie in antalya. The next day after i came to antalya.i was having juices when i saw familiar faces a cross me i went talked to her.she told me that her husband is sick. I wish he gets better soon so we can. Meet.
I've just stumbled across your channel and love your style, thankyou for such easy to digest info. ALSO for Miss greene WOW I love your accent and demenor you seem such a easy going sweet natured person. I've been dreaming of living in turkey for 10 years but have always made excuses in my head as to why I can't do it but you have truly inspired me. ✨️
The Russians fleeing mobilization are disrupting the rental market in Antalya. Her rent is easily 5X more right now, so if she renews its going to be sticker shock. She isn't getting a bite to eat nowadays for 15 lira, at the moment even a soup is 40 lira. Kebab used to be 15, now some places ask for 80, prices are crazy right now because of inflation, currency devaluation and the influx of Russians.
Ahh, I had a different take on what I want to do for kids and parents here. Some day, I would like to create an after school program, along with STEM for those kids who might be interested in it.
Maybe I should publish my API and/or create a reporting portal. I've lived here in Istanbul since July 2020 and immediately created an app to grab daily exchange rates mainly to determine the best day of the week to do a currency transfer.
What a charming, innovative, "Dolly Parton" voiced lady! And courageous too! Thrilled you interviewed her because I kept thinking since you have been in Turkey, "But what about a single female American? How would she feel in a majority Muslim country?"
Many American expats work in muslim majority countries of Middle East like UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait. I don't want to be in politics but the Iraq war and Libya war and some of the war happened before the war the country was thriving.
I’m a single woman and I live here very comfortably. The people are very respectful and helpful. I do not want to return to US to live ever. The only thing I miss is Zappos shoes. I’m in my third year here in Antalya.
Your weather can be anywhere from potentially freezing to over 70°F, Historically the average is 59° as a high, with eight or nine days with some rain.
I will set up a blog soon I know weather across the whole of the med as I have been to many places over the years , we live in side just down coast of the antayla region, ithink end of February is best time to come the spring temps will be more stable than the cold days, more days 20c into march maybe same through march will be days 24c or 25c but it does feel hotter I must say the UV gets to really high levels like your burning just walking 20mins , april it starts to get quite hot 26c to 28c nights are warmer too probs around 17c ,then through the season it gets very very hot and the sea is like warm bath like when you run a bath with hot water then relize it is too hot then forget about it for 30mins that warm in the sea ,I think antayla and Cyprus have the warmest sea water in all the Mediterranean
Her email is in the video description. You can email me at warrenjulietravel@gmail.com if needed and I’ll put you in contact if needed. Thanks for watching 😁
Hey here just checking out new places for possible retirement living, my main concerns are getting my furr kitties over there safely and does online stores ship directly there like Chewy, Amazon, etc..
The difficulty is finding a landlord who will rent for a short duration. Please reach out to our residency expert Selma if you have residency questions. +90533633 72 71
Thanks a lot for the beautiful and informative video. I'm planning to live as an expat in Turkey. I'd like to know about taxes on income. Could you please give some info on that topic
It would be best if you consulted with either an attorney in turkey or our residency expert. She may be able to guide you and give you the proper answers.
How could 2 people on $1700 a month do? My wife and I are starting to look. We were thinking of Ecuador in a couple years with a little more money but could make something work now at that range and most likely go up another $100 a year and settle around $2500 a month in 5 to 7 years.
Currently you would be able to live very affluently with this amount in Turkey. Assuming you rent at $550 furnished, you’d have a hard time spending the rest of your $1,150 a month. Check out rents at sahibinden.com
Thanks so much for so useful information. I'm living in Istanbul with my family. I have 4 kids aging 2 to 7. I don't like coldest weather. what you suggest for me whether we should move Antalya ? what about schools in Antalya?
Antalya is definitely warmer. I honestly don't have the knowledge about the school systems. I suggest joining a FB group in Antalya and asking people with young children.
Hi I'm looking for a holiday home in Turkey 🇹🇷 I'm looking for somewhere with great weather especially between September to June. How is weather in Antalya? Does Antalya have a international airport? Which area has the best facilities and location in Antalya?
Hi there, thanks so much for this video! May I ask, as a freelancer, when you get your residency in Turkey, do you have to pay your income tax in turkey then?🤔
No, because non citizens of Turkey have no permission to work there. So having a job as freelancer doesn't that you are breaking the law and you don't have to pay taxes
@@happyandhydrated6647 well in Greece you can get an Apartment like that 300 Euros, 342 dollars and I know that we make three times the minimum wage then Turkey so it has to be less, the minimum wage in Greece is 700 Euros, 800 US from what I know the minimum wage in turkey is 209 US. 332 ?????
Woah !! $ 793.00 - 10,730 TL per person MONTHLY are you sure you don't mean annually coz that is very steep ...so that's a combination of IMGLOBAL and STATE MEDICAL cover ?
Sorry about that, we had music we used from a free music site for our intro, then an artist hired a group to place copyright claims on this work. We had RUclips insert one of their own sound tracks into the clip. Unfortunately we can't edit it once it's uploaded.
Nothing really, typically an expat is not looking for citizenship and retains ties to their home country, they are staying long term not there on vacation. Most often people refer to themselves as an expat as well as fellow foreigners in similar areas. They can be called foreigners, migrants, or immigrants as well. For my purposes, people looking to retire outside or relocate to another country will search the term “expat” much more often than the term “foreigner”. It has nothing to do with financial status, country, ethnicity or religion. Typically it’s the English speakers that will utilize the word.
Can anyone confirm what type of Turkish visa/ documentation is needed in moving to Turkey for Canadian citizen? How to get medical coverage with long term stay visa? Can anyone stay long term in turkey renting or must have to buy a residential property to have long term visa and medical benefits??
How renewing of the apartment lease for a long term works in Antalya? Lets say I find a perfect apartment and wish to stay there for at least 10 years....Thank you in advance.
You basically make a contract with the owner/real estate agent as to your lease terms, when the time comes the contract ends you either renew it or continue living there without the contract but the owner can try to remove you at any point without contract but usually it auto renews. Source: I am the owner of properties in Istanbul
I think 4500 lira rent for apartment here little too much if told that to Turkish they would say very expensive, the size I seen in side on a complex the same 2500 3000 lira little smaller 2000 ,antayla city nice but we like the quiet spots that why live in side, yeah the climate is fantastic anyone who thinks it is not have come at bad time from the end of February till end of November, even in December you can be on beach sunbathing August was 40c most days while spain was only 32c ans the sea is like warm bath, yeah been colder winter give it amonth spring will be like hot summers day like August for northern europe
Well everyone knows about the price increases now I wrote this months ago, now 4500 is good price but before past year you could get apartment for 2500 3000 lira, now people saying 7 to 9000 lira crazy price increases if anyone has a place maybe even if far from beach in cabin further inland in avsallar or alanya let me know for 4 5000
@@travelcats963 Yeah and 4500 is impossible now in Antalya, even in the not so nice inner areas : ) You're looking at 10-15k for furnished in the coastal areas.

When do you think you finally head to Turkey? We are thinking seriously about retiring in Turkey too.
you should go to Fethiye where all the British people live.

So I’m looking forward to return and be able to stay for long time hopefully. I hope I can meet with you. I’m from California retired nurse, love turkey been twice already
Last summer was awfully hot in Europe, Belgrade Serbia and Lviv Ukraine were 100+ Fahrenheit many days. That said it was probably hotter in Antalya. This has been a colder than normal winter in Antalya so every year can vary. This said late June to mid September are supposed to be the hottest times for the area. I hear overall September is a decent weather month so I hope you experience better temperatures when you return.
@@WarrenJulieTravel will like if possible to get in touch with the American lady. It will be very nice to know someone who already knows the aérea. Please let me know if you can help me in this regard. Thank you
Datca Marmaris and Cesme is much better weather wise but more expensive than Antalya of course.
Try Bodrum Area. It has better weather for summer!
Great guest!
She is very happy in Antalya.
Thank you

Thanks for sharing video, safe travels.
Thank you.
That was 11 months ago. What about now since we all know recession has touched us all globally?
We’ll we’re back and have new Antalya videos so check them out.
Is there a better place to live???? I love it here💖
It’s a pretty nice place 😁
I've just stumbled across your channel and love your style, thankyou for such easy to digest info. ALSO for Miss greene WOW I love your accent and demenor you seem such a easy going sweet natured person. I've been dreaming of living in turkey for 10 years but have always made excuses in my head as to why I can't do it but you have truly inspired me. ✨️
If you have the means, chase your dreams. You can’t buy more time. Glad you liked the video. 😁
Thank you very much for this video. I visited Antalya last February.
We are heading back to Turkey very soon and very excited to see it again. Thank you for watching us.
Warren has a particular set of skills . . .
Lol, we’re laughing hard now. 😂😂
I think the prices have changed significantly?? Updates would be appreciated
They have but we are not going back to Antalya for quite a while.
@@WarrenJulieTravel why not ?
3:52 wow, I've never seen pool water that 😳 clear in my life, makes you want to jump straight in from the balcony...
Lol, look about a minute earlier when we mentioned draining pools for the off season.
The Russians fleeing mobilization are disrupting the rental market in Antalya. Her rent is easily 5X more right now, so if she renews its going to be sticker shock. She isn't getting a bite to eat nowadays for 15 lira, at the moment even a soup is 40 lira. Kebab used to be 15, now some places ask for 80, prices are crazy right now because of inflation, currency devaluation and the influx of Russians.
We are definitely seeing an exponential increase in prices due to inflation. We will be doing updated videos soon on Antalya.
I totally agree
Great video. Thank you
You are welcome! Thank you for watching us.
Ahh, I had a different take on what I want to do for kids and parents here. Some day, I would like to create an after school program, along with STEM for those kids who might be interested in it.
Nice plan.
Maybe I should publish my API and/or create a reporting portal. I've lived here in Istanbul since July 2020 and immediately created an app to grab daily exchange rates mainly to determine the best day of the week to do a currency transfer.
☺️
What a charming, innovative, "Dolly Parton" voiced lady! And courageous too! Thrilled you interviewed her because I kept thinking since you have been in Turkey, "But what about a single female American? How would she feel in a majority Muslim country?"
Thanks for watching, here is another single female interview from Istanbul you may have missed. 😁

Awww 🥰 thank you Laura.
@@phplayschool You are now my inspiration. I am a 66 year old widow.
Many American expats work in muslim majority countries of Middle East like UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait. I don't want to be in politics but the Iraq war and Libya war and some of the war happened before the war the country was thriving.
I’m a single woman and I live here very comfortably. The people are very respectful and helpful. I do not want to return to US to live ever. The only thing I miss is Zappos shoes. I’m in my third year here in Antalya.
I’m going to Turkey next month but I wish you could give some information about the weather. You can become the weather man. ☺️😂💕🌍
Your weather can be anywhere from potentially freezing to over 70°F, Historically the average is 59° as a high, with eight or nine days with some rain.
@@WarrenJulieTravel thank you 🙏
I will set up a blog soon I know weather across the whole of the med as I have been to many places over the years , we live in side just down coast of the antayla region, ithink end of February is best time to come the spring temps will be more stable than the cold days, more days 20c into march maybe same through march will be days 24c or 25c but it does feel hotter I must say the UV gets to really high levels like your burning just walking 20mins , april it starts to get quite hot 26c to 28c nights are warmer too probs around 17c ,then through the season it gets very very hot and the sea is like warm bath like when you run a bath with hot water then relize it is too hot then forget about it for 30mins that warm in the sea ,I think antayla and Cyprus have the warmest sea water in all the Mediterranean
@@travelcats963 thank you 🙏 very much for the information.
Nice. Pls also give contacts of genuine people for rental and for getting residency permit agents
I coming to Turkey in Feb or March. We have visit in Sept 6 to Sept 18 2021. I like to contact MS. Greene. I want to leave the USA badly.
Her email is in the video description. You can email me at warrenjulietravel@gmail.com if needed and I’ll put you in contact if needed. Thanks for watching 😁
@@WarrenJulieTravel I am thinking about Ismir or Alana
Hey here just checking out new places for possible retirement living, my main concerns are getting my furr kitties over there safely and does online stores ship directly there like Chewy, Amazon, etc..
There is an Amazon option in Turkey but not everything is available.
I don’t see her contact information… would you mind forwarding? I absolutely love your channel and thank you
Please send me an email at warrenJulietravel@gmail.com and I will forward it to her.
good interview
Thank you 😊
How did Mrs Green find that great furnished flat? Can she or you recommend any agency?
She actually walked the streets with a local who contacted an owner when she saw the for rent sign.
Hey, I didn’t have an agency. I literally had a friend call the number on a sign. 😊
Good vibes
Thanks 😊
It’s pronounced Ahn-talya . A like in Han Solo. No long A’s in Turkish
Thanks for the clarification.
What is required when doing a short term apartment, condo etc. unsure to try out for 3 months living in Antalya before applying for a 1 yr residency
The difficulty is finding a landlord who will rent for a short duration. Please reach out to our residency expert Selma if you have residency questions. +90533633 72 71
Which country in the world you get soooooo much history? The whole country is a open air museum.
do US citizens need a turkish Residence permit to live there?
any problem with getting it?
You can stay 90 days every 180 days.
Thanks a lot for the beautiful and informative video. I'm planning to live as an expat in Turkey. I'd like to know about taxes on income. Could you please give some info on that topic
It would be best if you consulted with either an attorney in turkey or our residency expert. She may be able to guide you and give you the proper answers.
how much is ms Greenes monthly rent on her apartment???? we are planning to move there next year
She mentioned it in the video. It varies against the lira.
Not now it's become expensive
It’s gone up, we will be doing a follow up on this video soon.
How could 2 people on $1700 a month do? My wife and I are starting to look. We were thinking of Ecuador in a couple years with a little more money but could make something work now at that range and most likely go up another $100 a year and settle around $2500 a month in 5 to 7 years.
Currently you would be able to live very affluently with this amount in Turkey. Assuming you rent at $550 furnished, you’d have a hard time spending the rest of your $1,150 a month. Check out rents at sahibinden.com
@@WarrenJulieTravel Thank you. I may have some more questions but I'll wait to see a few more videos to see if they're answered.
more than enough im tirkish dont listen 1700$ u cannot spend monthly ,
Hi , Can you watch US TV in Antalya ?
Yes VPN
Bring a Firestick too
Thanks so much for so useful information. I'm living in Istanbul with my family. I have 4 kids aging 2 to 7. I don't like coldest weather. what you suggest for me whether we should move Antalya ? what about schools in Antalya?
Antalya is definitely warmer. I honestly don't have the knowledge about the school systems. I suggest joining a FB group in Antalya and asking people with young children.
Thank you for sharing the information. Thinking the same.
Thanks for watching 😁
Bring people from Iowa and Kansas too!!
👍
Hi I'm looking for a holiday home in Turkey 🇹🇷
I'm looking for somewhere with great weather especially between September to June.
How is weather in Antalya?
Does Antalya have a international airport?
Which area has the best facilities and location in Antalya?
It has one of the top ten busiest airports in Europe apparently. It has the mildest winter of European countries, although this area is Asia.
@@WarrenJulieTravel thanks for reply
Hotter than hades in summer.
How can I have a legal residency status as a retired American citizen in Turkye
Please contact our residency expert, Selma.
Hi there, thanks so much for this video! May I ask, as a freelancer, when you get your residency in Turkey, do you have to pay your income tax in turkey then?🤔
No, because non citizens of Turkey have no permission to work there. So having a job as freelancer doesn't that you are breaking the law and you don't have to pay taxes
You’ll just be on a tourist visa for 1-2 years, not with a work permit. So you won’t be taxed.
That might not be much for here but she is defensively paying way more then what a local would pay
hi, how much would a local pay on average?
@@happyandhydrated6647 well in Greece you can get an Apartment like that 300 Euros, 342 dollars and I know that we make three times the minimum wage then Turkey so it has to be less, the minimum wage in Greece is 700 Euros, 800 US from what I know the minimum wage in turkey is 209 US. 332 ?????
See local rents at sahibinden.com
Been living SoCal all my life and got to live on US SS alone comfortably.
Guess Antalya can be the answer...if I can find a One BR apartment, there.
Good luck, you’ll do better financially outside So Cal.
@@WarrenJulieTravel Thank you for your advise..
Hi I am in Istanbul right now , soon I will be in Antalya , I am looking to rent a place there any good recommendation thx
I recommend finding an agent who can help you. We did a real estate video with an excellent company.
Woah !! $ 793.00 - 10,730 TL per person MONTHLY are you sure you don't mean annually coz that is very steep ...so that's a combination of IMGLOBAL and STATE MEDICAL cover ?
You misunderstood, her insurance for government coverage was $122 a year. The $793 total a month is all her expenses, rent, utilities etc.
Warren is a good interviewer.
Thank you. I think so too😊
Hi! Great video! How did Ms. Warren find a good agent to find her apartment? Did she use a real estate agent or did she book it directly herself?
She walked around looking for signs with a local resident, OK then contacted the person directly renting the apartment.
@@WarrenJulieTravel that is so easy to England 😔
thx for video
Thanks 😊
That intro music is crazy loud.
Sorry about that, we had music we used from a free music site for our intro, then an artist hired a group to place copyright claims on this work. We had RUclips insert one of their own sound tracks into the clip. Unfortunately we can't edit it once it's uploaded.
What's the difference between an expat and a foreigner?
Nothing really, typically an expat is not looking for citizenship and retains ties to their home country, they are staying long term not there on vacation. Most often people refer to themselves as an expat as well as fellow foreigners in similar areas. They can be called foreigners, migrants, or immigrants as well. For my purposes, people looking to retire outside or relocate to another country will search the term “expat” much more often than the term “foreigner”. It has nothing to do with financial status, country, ethnicity or religion. Typically it’s the English speakers that will utilize the word.
Can anyone confirm what type of Turkish visa/ documentation is needed in moving to Turkey for Canadian citizen? How to get medical coverage with long term stay visa? Can anyone stay long term in turkey renting or must have to buy a residential property to have long term visa and medical benefits??
Please watch our residency expert video and contact Selma with these questions. Her information is in the video description.
How renewing of the apartment lease for a long term works in Antalya? Lets say I find a perfect apartment and wish to stay there for at least 10 years....Thank you in advance.
I cannot really answer this question. We have not done this ourselves. Hopefully someone will read this and respond accordingly.
You basically make a contract with the owner/real estate agent as to your lease terms, when the time comes the contract ends you either renew it or continue living there without the contract but the owner can try to remove you at any point without contract but usually it auto renews.

Can you guys recommend any websites to rent an apartment for 3 months? (no airbnb) Thank you!!!!!!
You may want to join the Antalya Expat Facebook group, you may be able to ask the question to the group to see if anyone knows of a rental.
I think 4500 lira rent for apartment here little too much if told that to Turkish they would say very expensive, the size I seen in side on a complex the same 2500 3000 lira little smaller 2000 ,antayla city nice but we like the quiet spots that why live in side, yeah the climate is fantastic anyone who thinks it is not have come at bad time from the end of February till end of November, even in December you can be on beach sunbathing August was 40c most days while spain was only 32c ans the sea is like warm bath, yeah been colder winter give it amonth spring will be like hot summers day like August for northern europe
Good information 😁
absolutely to much she cam get mich better house with that money
Well everyone knows about the price increases now I wrote this months ago, now 4500 is good price but before past year you could get apartment for 2500 3000 lira, now people saying 7 to 9000 lira crazy price increases if anyone has a place maybe even if far from beach in cabin further inland in avsallar or alanya let me know for 4 5000
@@travelcats963 Yeah and 4500 is impossible now in Antalya, even in the not so nice inner areas : ) You're looking at 10-15k for furnished in the coastal areas.
