We shot the video yesterday on 17 February* not October 😅 sorry for the mistake and the transition glitches. Let us know your opinion about the new prices hike in Türkiye
Hi mate I'm going to lara area in May anychsnch I can meet up with u
Thank you for all the information. So even with owning a residence, one has to re-apply for residency every year? Also, if we have children over 18, can they be included or they would have to have their own property for residence application? Thank you!
@truthful2434 hi, they can be included in the same property as family. But always it better to ask the GOÇ Idaresi as they change rules every now and then.
I bought a lovely, small but beautiful flat near Bodrum, in Kadekalesi in 2007 for 40,000 GBP - and loved it. People were lovely, friendly, food delicious, some very, very good Turkish wines, scenery utterly magnificent, and the views west from our characterful, generous balcony over the sea towards Kos were utterly beautiful. No buildings of more than two storeys were allowed. Because of not being able to get there as often as we like (travel is very expensive and involves three planes and 4 airports) from the Scandinavian country I live in), we sold it a year ago. We got a good price, but the area had changed beyond belief since the few years since we had been there. The charm and character of local traditional stone buildings had largely disappeared - all knocked down, and there were new, much taller buildings ''climbing'' all over the hills which had been bare before. It made me sad, but it was inevitable. We will always miss it, though - spent a lot of time there for quite a few years. If anyone out there is thinking of buying in Turkey, do your home-work and do it fast! Unless you are a millionaire, it will be out of your reach in a very few years....
Indeed, thanks for your input.
Thank you! Could you say that you made money on your investment? You bought at 40,000 and probably had some closing cost expenses, repairs, etc so spent 45,000 in total. Did you sell with profit? And was the profit greater than average if you would have in invested in the market (that’s let’s say 5% return per year)?? We are looking at Turkey real estate as investor and I am trying to understand the market from people vs realtors who keep saying that everything is going up 🤣
Don't worry people 🙂 BRICS is around the corner and all precious metals and other valuable elements will get a Revaluation. Meaning we are leaving the old Swift Financial System and going to the new Quantum Financial System. This planet is going to see a lot of happiness yet ❤ Get ur Metals, And get ur Crypto's that are ( Backed By Precious Metals ) cuz ain't no stopping what is coming. Don't believe me, Believe ur selfs and do ur research 💫✨️ Love

Real estate prices in Turkey have risen sharply in recent years due to various factors. Due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, there was a lot of interest from the Russians and Ukrainians;
Finally, broker speculations was the most important factor for this situation.
Most properties are therefore too expensive.
Foreigners have now had enough of the significantly increased prices and as a result, most foreigners are leaving Turkey.
The current overpriced market, this unsustainable price development will lead to a price correction.
Turkey's competition with the rest of the world has been significantly damaged.
Many resorts are half empty at this moment in Bodrum etc.
Just reading your comments on Turkiye , so true . We bought a house in a small village called uzumlu 12 years ago up on the side of a hill , looking down on olive and almond groves . But like what happened you they are all gone in place of 2 storey villas . The turkish village people the weather the food amazing , I would sit talking to them for hours , me with no turkish and them with no English, just learning about their way of everyday living . Should I sell up and move ? I will try stay a little longer
The prices are almost similar like in the EU.
I also have been living in Turkey since 2020, it was super economical in 2020 just 200TL for a whole week's groceries now i pay even more than 3000TL to live for a week. now I need at least USD 1500 per month to live an average life on rent with my family. things become very very different in just a few years. it's a beautiful country with really good and loving people i hope/pray things go back to normal Soon
You are right. Hopefully things get better soon!
So far, praying hasn't changed anything for better.
@@slowianka100 then fix your definition for praying first brother. i know you want us to leave. that's what i can read in your message. i am not sure about others but for sure i will soon. i am a tech freelancer, I was here to contribute not to be recognized as an outsider or insider.

It was bound to happen ... Turkiye was cheap and a nice place to live, but then the world finds out and floods in! Sounds like some price gouging has been going on by doctors and other professionals. I feel most sorry for the Turkish people, who are now having to deal with such expensive living. Time to find a new place in the sun ... and ruin that, too!
Wait, there are still highly educated people that didn't leave this country?
@@SwissMarksman Yes, but the professionals catering to the "rich" immigrants can charge/earn more, which creates problems for the locals.
@SwissMarksman why would they leave? They're settled and making good amount of living free of mortgage.
@@SwissMarksmanactually where can we go? We have house and cars here and families as well. If we go to EU or USA or Canada, we need to start from the scratch and we could not get a job based on our education. For instance, I have MSc and PhD from EU and working as academic here and my husband is a dentist however if we migrate, my husband's diploma equivalent is not there so what he gonna do? Delivering pizza? Or dashdoor? Or working in McDonalds?
People are migrating to Spain now because, spains property prices are cheaper and so is the food.
Are you serious? Maybe far away places only are cheap.
Not in a good area! The cheap houses in Spain are not in good areas.
All these foreigners come to these European places and drive the real estate and cost of living prices through the roof, forcing the local residents to no longer be able to afford their own country and towns! Turkey is changing its residency rooms every month.
Food here in Türkiye is poisonous 😅
Vegetables are flooded with pesticides, chicken meat is full of antibiotics and hormones, packaged food is packed with nasty chemicals.
In which cities and areas?
Turkey is still cheaper than the USA, but it is sad for the people there. Turkey is such a great country.
Indeed, it is beautiful. But as you said, Turkish people are badly affected by the inflation while people who have income in foreign currencies aren't affected as much.
Sure it is expensive and hard but the minimum wage went up by 30-40% in dollar terms in 2024. Minimum public servant salary is 1000-1100USD, which is not bad for a country in crisis since 2018. Doctors in public health are on 3500 to 65OO USD net in total on average depending on whether they're in the West or East.
@@timlaw406 Yes, agreed... Also, this war in Ukraine has affected a lot of people in many countries, and Turkey is having to readjust accordingly. It will take some time, but the economy will stabilize. The experts say within the next 4 years. We'll see...
in Turkey min wage is more inclusive to mid - min levels. So more than half of working pop. is on minimum. It is not just marginal wage only teenagers get. It is kept at 400-500 usd by constant raises, however if economy dont improve it will slide to 300 usd levels i fear.@@timlaw406
Turkiye's old economic model was to grow with exports by reducing prices and increasing production. Over time, this situation has made Turkiye a cheap holiday destination for foreigners. As a local Turk, I am in favor of further increases in prices. In Turkiye, people's income is also increased in dollar terms. This is better for the locals, but worse for you.
Came to visit from Europe and Its just as expensive as Europe!
Unfortunately, it is becoming expensive.
There has been a mass exodus of foreigners. The real estate market is pretty much done with the recent change to the residency permit. Well see what happens but doesnt look good
What are the changes? Harder to obtain residency for Canadians? I checked in Google, and could not find any thing.
I'll believe it when real estate prices start to fall, And that doesn't seem to be happening in the 3 As..... Ankara, Antalya, Alanya....or other places on the coast
You are 100% correct. Always those immigration rules that destroy people's lives and dreams.....
Use to be able to live on 600 usd a month in turkey now 2000 usd doesnt feel like alot. Cars, food, rent, restaurants are insane.
Portugal and southern italy cheaper
People will stop coming and actually start leaving Turkye . Dont make sense to live there . I went to Canacale last week is nice but super expensive . Even 2000$ is not enough to live good life ..
Very sad, but I quite agree.
good stay in your own country
Many thanks for the information and explanation. These are things we personally appreciate.😎👍
Glad you liked it! 😊
The people deserve all they get with that president they keep voting in.
@@fineweather4569 who are you? why are you so mean?
@@pedrothewise2584 nothing mean about it. I’m someone who believes in stating the truth and facts, even if someone doesn’t want to hear it. People are incredibly stupid, no critical thinking at all. They’ll wake up when they start to starve - inflation not high enough to really hurt them yet. It will come. And when it does, Erdogan will be in a jet fleeing for his life. Always ends that way for dictators.
Well change the president and bring a new one. What will change? What can a new government do in short& mid term?With a public debt of 500 Billion USD which is equivalent to 45% of the GDP?
This is the "System" the West has created and offered to the developing countries.
The US itself has 35 Trillion USD public debt and can't feed 340 M people. 45M of US citizens face "food insecurity" (State Dept.of Agriculture)
I just brought the example with the US to expose that the whole western sytem incl. the highly in debt EU countries has failed just accumulating wealth in hand of a few people.
Residence permit expenses are way too expensive now, as well.
Right, like the notary stamps and translations, insurance etc.
I rent a 55 square meter (600SF) studio apartment in Chicago and pay US$1175, not including gas and electric which adds another US$125 ($1300 total). So Turkey still seems like a bargain to foreigners like me.
Yes, if you are earning money in USD, it will be cheaper to live in Turkey than living in the US.
You forgot to tell us that in Chicago you make $7000 a
Month. In Turkey they make $600 a month.
@@LK-dm7kx exactly... too much apples and oranges :)
I love these boots on the ground price knowledge videos, thank you so much!
You are welcome!😊
Turkey is really affordable when it comes to everything but housing electronics and cars!
Beer is more expensive than in US. Beers similar quality to Efes is about $1 at grocery stores in the suburb I live. Based on that price, dollar is too cheap. Prices have to reflect the labor cost.
Inflation is said to be 70% which is really 120%
food in turkey so much better.More choices.
@@muratkekec5994 not worth the prices when it's so high
@@muratkekec5994who fcks around the food when you can't afford it
In Europe especially in Sweden the inflation is 10 times higher than said!
who cares if you make dollars
Great video, thank you! While it's true that over 1000 cities or neighborhoods are closed to foreigners receiving an ikamet (residence permit), there was also some type of decree made that if a foreigner bought a home in one of these closed areas before the war in Ukraine, an application would be accepted and there would be a very good possibility that a residence permit would be awarded for up to 2 years. I bought my home 2.5 years ago and just received my ikamet for the first time two weeks ago in a closed Alanya mahallesi. ❤
It is getting very expensive here, but the food, utilities and healthcare are still much cheaper here than in the US.
Glad you liked it!😊 As far as I know, in Türkiye the laws will be applied at the time you purchased your property.
Turkiye has got so expensive really quick. If the government doesn’t combat the inflation and interest rates, who would buy in Turkiye, better to buy in Spain or Portugal. Prices r now just like Europe.
Just arrived today from Russia, the prices in the supermarkets are mostly cheap with my £'s. Restaurants are more expensive then when I was here before though.
Any issues with British authorities if you come back from Russia while this war is going on...
@@TheDigitalGuru430 Nah, Britain is not at war directly with Russia....yet.
@@TallTravels Какво искате да кажете с това, че все още Русия не е във война с Великобритания?
Price hike is the norm in any country wether in steep inflation such as TURKIYE or iran or Japan. However there are pseudo inflation too. Meaning such increase in price is not economy related but related to people's attitude. Of merchants or clinics excessively increase their price on tourists and expats , the word gets around and then no one will come and tourism crash and Turks ultimately pay the price. Same thing happens in the Phillipines and the government went after price gougers gave them fines. Many countries generate alots of money from tourists and no country wants to lose them.
You are right! Price hikes are also on Turks, unfortunately in every industry.
Number of tourists are increasing each year. Revenue broke new records.
Restaurants vides à Istanbul début août !
@oualimyriam9957 Tu as raison.
Good video, informative. Subscribed.
Turkey is beautiful country I have been living in Istanbul aksaray I really miss there although we had alot of challenges I was living in turkey when 100 dollar was 600 Lira
I visited the coast of Turkey a few months ago and it was beautiful north of Antalya up to Gocek, but I have to say the customer service was not good and hotel prices were very high even in the off season. I wanted to stay longer because of the beauty and history but the inconveniences were just too much for me. I am very glad however because it forced me to move on and I took a boat to Rhodes which ended up being one of the best places Ive ever visited and with all the conveniences and good restaurants, natural beauty etc. This was also in the off season so I dont know how it would be there in the high season.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us 😊
Greece is far better in my experience
Nearly 39 Turkish lira to the British pound now. Used to be 4-5 not so many years ago.
Used to be 4 lira to the £ in 2016 and Istanbul was an extremely cheap and reasonable city. Aya Sofya was about 10 lira to get in, and Topkapi was the same. Now Aya Sofya is 25 Euro and Topkapi is 50 Euro. Ridiculous. Erdogan has finally effed the country
Should be at least 100 by now
Turkish government is artificially supporting the Lira. Inflation is running at over 70% prices continue to rise, but exchange rates being pegged back. GBP is currently 41, should be at least 80
I have noticed that the Turkish people are charging Americans much more than the cost of service. I asked a turkish neighbor for the cost to rent a Fiat linea for a month. He told me that 26000TL. When I got to the airport I went to one of the big American car rental companies and got a price 16000TL. Don't trust Turkish people to be honest anymore.
stay away
You expect someone to be "honest" in that system? Honestly?
Demand for big American var was low due to handling problem and has consumption. Maybe it was idle for months. As demand low, price dropped.
Too many ppl jump to live in turkey, it's beautiful and cheap. But people of Turkey paid the price.
I feel bad for all foreigners who bought house in turkey and now they can't afford living in it.they were trapped by Turkish government!
They can easily sell their properties with a good amount of profit.
@tefidekizildeniz6329 that's a big lie! Most properties sold to foreigners higher than real price and if they want to sell it to Turks they need to sell it with lower price than the market or just sell it to another foreigner who has no idea about real prices. And this will take a long time to sell a house .that happened to my relatives in turkey, and they all returned back to their country
@@fato9583 that is interesting because there is only 1 common app for selling properties and if anyone regarding to being foreign or local, they supposed to check prices at least from this app and/or few more local real state. Who can go one foreign country and buy a house from only one person as blinded? Let's say even though, they bought from the high prices, the prices are now more than 20 times. Let me give you my example. I bought my flat for 250.000 TL (34.000 us dollar makes at that time) in 2020 and now its price is 3.000.000 TL (90.000 us dollar). So you can make the calculation how much the benefits get....
Prices rate conversion showed on screen when you in the store A101 showing us the actual prices is great idea. Thanks a lot for that!
You are welcome! 😊
Instead of prices dropping as the exchange rate deteriorates the Turks hike prices, we have returned to Spain for holidays as its cheaper, gets less scammers and you feel safer out and aboutt plus the language is easier to learn.
Unfortunately, it's true.
Dam your olive oil is more expensive than imported Italian Greek or Spanish olive oil here in the UK, I'm afraid your president is destroying your economy, it's still a lot cheaper than the UK however not for Turkish people earning Turkish wages people must be really struggling to make ends meet, things are not that great here either since our stupid Brexit but it's no where near as bad as your economy, it's really sad because before Erdogan took power your economy was doing really well, I hope things get better for you take care, Jim
He is the worst disaster that happened to this country. 😑
Been to the family around ankara nowadays.
Prices there are also same level of Europe which i didnt understand.
The Euro Currency should be rising but it stays at 30ish levels, also it just rose 5% YTD to the lira meanwhile inflation of lira is like around 70ish% percent means Euro is drastically losing in value also as purchase power heaven....
You are right.
Obviously Tūrkiye is still still cheaper coming from the EU,US and GB, but not as cheap as before!
What will be also affected is tourism, because less people will fly to Tūrkiye which was already a bit more costly to fly to compared to EU destinations, so people might aswell go to Greece or Italy etc. This will in turn lead to more problems with the Turkish economy!
Вече пътувам и почивам в Италия и Гърция, където се предлагат по-качествени храни и услуги, отколкото в Турция. И не те мамят непрекъснато навсякъде.
@@Марта-й7е ??
It’s not necessary or even possible to get private health insurance if you’re over 65. It’s the 1st time I hear that Istanbul is closed for residence permits, some regions maybe but not all
I left Istanbul in December of 2019. The dollar was worth 6tl. It is now worth 33tl. I had a one bedroom apartment for 1,450tl at the time, 242.00usd per month. It was in a great neighborhood and 1 block away from the Metrobus. It was also not far from the sea. I went out to dinner with friends at least 3 or 4 times a week because it was so inexpensive. Clothes were so inexpensive that I purchased as many as possible before I left. Medicine was so cheap I got as much as possible before I left. When I was there in January, breakfast that used to cost me 20tl was 450tl.
I didn't like it at all!!!!it is not a welcoming country for Americans. Also if you compare prices against the $ you need to do the same for the lifestyle too.
Sorry to hear that you didn't have a good time here. Usually, Americans are happy and respected in Turkey. Maybe you didn’t get lucky with the people you met. Hope you get to visit Turkey again because there are many welcoming and kind people here.
Hello Bilal. Great video and informative. I think it started right after Covid. You're right that it became crazier this year in 2024, but all my friends who've lived in Turkey say that it started after covid and even some of them left. I went to Turkey in December last year, and I didn't have a good time. Too many scams and lots of people are just after your money and seem rude and unhappy. Turkey is a beautiful country with beautiful nature, cuisine, energy, but if they keep treating tourists like this, then they will suffer. Did you know that they removed even visa fees for visa on arrival for some nationalities in January this year just in hope that more people will come. I've been following you since the beginning of the channel and we never had the chance to learn what do you do in Turkey?
Hi, glad you like our videos and happy to always see you contributing in the comments.😊 Unfortunately, many scams are taking place as I see from the comments. I always tell people to check reviews and google places before visiting so they can avoid many problems. There are a lot to enjoy in Türkiye and many nice people and good business. We had a restaurant before covid in Antalya, and this is how our journey started here.
@@tiptopturkey wow cool stuff Bilal. I hope you flourish and succeed more.
Редовно посещавах Турция, но вече не ходя там. Омръзна ми да ме гладат като ходеща касичка и непрекъснато да ме лъжат.
They are weird when it comes to dealing with tourists and the rudeness starts from the airport. With these prices Turkish tourism won't survive.
@@fouad5151 Преди години бяха по-любезни, но пак имаше измами, но с усмивка. Щом си чужденец, те виждат като ходеща касичка и непрекъсно трябва да внимаваш да не се разделиш с парите си. Ужасно уморително е, затова престанах да ходя там. Вече ме загубиха като турист, но проблемът си е техен. Вече ходя на по-цивилилизовани места, където ме посрещат с внимание и има баланс между качество и цена.
Turkey is so beautiful. I’ve look at leaving Michigan. Have been looking at Uruguay, Argentina, Dominican Republic.

Hi, you can make it to Türkiye too.😊 Good Luck!
Hi Matt, FYI, I am retired and used to live in many places but florida in a 55+ community called century village deer field beach, u can buy condo for$100k and monthly including HOA,utilities, taxes , insurance comes to $750 a month. The amenities are top notch, gated, clubhouse worth at least 20million, golf course,16 swimming pools etc. I used to live 6 months in winter there and the other 6 months, rent it out and used the proceed to stay in Europe.
Hi, yes, the real estate prices hiked last year and before in Türkiye, because the demand was very high, especially with the Russian and Ukrainian influx. But now the selling is freezed and this is making the rent even more expensive.
@@tiptopturkey some good old supply and demand
One demand drops because of the increase in prices, the prices will drop back down. They can only get away with it temporarily.
I hope so, but I have my doubts; there are a lot of very rich Russians flooding in...
Wow, during COVID lockdowns (off and on) in 2021 in Kadikoy, Istanbul I paid $13 CAD per night for either a room in a shared apartment or for my private hotel room with shared WC.
Bangkok and Pattaya sound like better deals. Too bad, I prefer Turkiye.
I am staying where I am. Find always way to save. Foreign language, culture, people, religion. Not way.
Too many people wandering around world and 99% always go back to their origin.
Many people searching so call hapiness they loose everything, seen stories in Thailand.
I travel many country an always go back where I was born, and is better.
I have not apetite for countries with too many expa like Thailand and Turkey.
it's cheap to live in Antalya on Norwegian salaries living like a king here
It isn't around Bodrum....
Thx
Thank you so much for this video i was thinking to move to Antaliya but im nervous if i can obtain permanent residence.
Bu bilgilendirici video için teşekkür ederiz
Rica ederiz! 😊
Turkiye is great! If you only want to come here because you think it is cheap, don't come! It has been underated for too long, it's a great place but you need to have money to relocate to any country. I prefer to have quality people come. ❤ Turkiye.
Wouid be good to see how much properties cost in Antalya? Lara etc
outrageously high. Lara has almost nothing below 500k USD, and at those price levels you better off going to Spain and get a EU Visa.
They're low right now. Because the property must be valued at 200k for you to get residency. Even if you purchase a property for 300k but it's valued at 150k you will not get residency. They can't sell anything right now
@ComedyGold-ml8wc You are absolutely right!
@@ComedyGold-ml8wc Hi
If I may ask, how would the price purchased for 300k USD valued for 150k USD? Me and my partner are trying to get residency permit on property owner. Will this concern us?
@88piolina because someone can sell a home for whatever price they want, but if the home isn't valued at 200k, then it's a problem for obtaining residency. The value is determined by the expertise report. Once that's done and the report shows the homes value is above 200k than you can purchase it for residency but you must also show that you purchased the home for at or above 200k on the tapu or title deed for tax reasons. They want proof that the home is worth 200k, and you paid 200k for it.
Top, like from Side Turkey
We only need turist in türkey,come and go,not to setteled there
I live in United States cost of living here it’s insane.
Supermarket shopping at least $300 and you don’t get nothing, car insurance alone $700 a month rent 2 bedrooms $2300 a month and not spectacular
Thanks for sharing your experience!
That is too exaggerated, unless you are in New York City or California. The apartment price I agree with you, but there are also cheap states like Kansas and Michigan and others which an average of 1,500 can get you a 2 bedroom.
Kansas taxes groceries, and sales tax is high as 10% in some cities. There no big difference between grocery prices in Kansas & Massachusetts. Plus, who wants to live in Kansas. Michigan is cheap.for a reason. If only they could get the water situation straightened out in Flint. But yes, you get cheap housing in Detroit & Saginaw, if you can take living in depressed conditions.
@@jamesbrown9721 what depressed conditions? Michigan is a lovely state and Detroit’s northern suburbs are one of the wealthiest in all of America. The nature and lakes there are lovely and it has diversity. Kansas doesn’t tax all groceries plus it’s low tax. They don’t tax essentials like milk and diapers and rice and water. Most states now have almost around 8-9% sales tax. I agree that shopping in America for groceries and merchandise like clothes and furniture is same almost everywhere and is done mostly online. Maybe no one wants to live in Kansas but there are other relatively cheap areas like North Carolina and Arizona and the Midwest where people enjoy living. Even Atlanta is okay.
Expat living in turkey here. I 100% agree with everything said in this video, but i am writing to tell you that this is probably the only turkish person in the entire country that has decent english skills

But if we buy a place as a European we can stay up to 90 days for each 6 months period without any problem, is that correct ?
Hi, yes, you can still buy a house and stay for the period that is allowed for your nationality.
The problem is that once you leave Turkey after your 90 day stay you won't be able to return for another 3 months and so on which makes it very inconvenient for a property owner. Just for that reason, I will not be buying. You never know. You could be losing a lot of money.
Yes, I visited once and would like to live for a while
Do you expect any changes to residency, and house prices ?
European prices in southern-Turkey, so no one is buying anything. Well done locals, this is the best way to make sure your tourist-economy goes to crap!
Fuel so expensive!?!?i was thinking to buy something but it gets close /equel to Eu!…..so in this condition,no interest anymore!!! … Bad for Turkey’s future
You are right! Fuel is very expensive.
Good information . Thank you
Glad you liked it!😊
inflation is double whatever gov says !
Also your salary is increased double whatever you say. LOL
It's expensive to stay in a touristic building in a touristic area in a touristic city in the most touristic region of the country. Imagine that! Try Gaziantep?
Medical services at private hospitals are not good value. This was my experience even in 2021 in Istanbul. Likewise phone plans are not cheap.
In Canada I use the bus and rent a room in someone else's home. I do not expect to live luxuriously in Turkey either.
What do you think is the reason that foreign purchased phones will not work after three months? Surveillance? Promote local economy?
Are you originally from Iran? When I was in Turkey there were social tensions with Arab refugees from Syria. How are Persians and Arabs with money treated?
I’m in love with Mersin ☀️☀️
Thank you Sir for this great information I love turkey so much and I want to relocate to turkey with tourist visa will they give me resident permit
You are welcome! I don't know if they approve or not, you have to apply and it is their decision.
How much is the salary of civil site supervisor at Ankara.
I got a job offer there so want to confirm.
People, Türkiye is not just Antalya. Just have a look at the map... If you really like Türkiye take the courage and go to actually Turkish places and experience the real life - something which you cannot find in the artificial bubble which is Antalya region.
I didn’t know that they would deny you for the second year if you had bought a home to meet the residence permit. Why would anybody buy a home for only one year??
Hi, they might give for 1 year, but some people are still taking it for 2 years. They will renew the residence permit every year. Some people they buy for investment.
Don't live in Istanbul or Ankara it is way too crowded I lived in both of those places for 18 months each, 18 months in Istanbul and 18 months in Ankara and it is way too crowded there's no room on any of the sidewalks
Turkey has over priced it self to much you can find better places for the same price
try Uzbekistan or outskirts of turkey you will get more for your money
Supply and demand, there is a lot of demand which will only go up in the future for a country like Türkiye
Why should turkey be cheap?? The world is changing and its better than Europe for safety too
Next week, my job is sending me to live in antalya for 2 months. what should i prioritise when i get there?
Thank you for this informative video! 20,000 Turkish Lira for a beach house, that honestly isn’t bad when you compare that to expat parts of Mexico! It’s terrible for the locals though 😔😔
Gas also in Mexico is very expensive.
The checkup sounds expensive 🤯 150 euros? The SIM card for $6 doesn’t sound bad.
The internet even if it goes up to 700 Turkish lira is not bad. I mean it’s bad for the locals but for example in Mexico, we pay for internet over $36 USD for one of the apartments (614 Mexican pesos) and I don’t even have the fastest plan 😔
To register your phone in Turkey sounds very very expensive! 🤯🤯🤯
You are welcome! Well for 20,000 Turkish Lira, you cannot get a house on the beach, but like 2 to 3 streets close. Facing the sea immediately, I believe it is around 50,000 Turkish Lira. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Try 50,000 for a beach house!
1 liter of petrol is around 2 dollars here. 1,5 would be so nice 😂 Private doctor costs around 120-170 euros per 15 minute visit. But yeah our salaries are better too.
300 for a beer and 400 for a glass of wine really expensive all uk people will not return !
How is the average Turk making ends meet? Their salaries are low compared to the high cost of things? Someone please help me understand. I am fascinated by this country as an American. 0:15
Min .17.000 TL
It is hard but wages have been going up in USD too.
Family ties here are strong people get financial support from their families when in need.
People dont eat meat and keep a small nut
Yeah but the Lira is collapsing against hard currencies, so these increases are just keeping pace, rather than real increases for expats from those regions
Right! But I think the salary increase and the government steps to decrease the inflation will help the people.
If people knew about ( BRICS, QFS, RV, NESARA & GESARA, Precious Metals, XRP, XLM etc ) 😂❤ U wouldn't worry so much in the coming years i promise u. Just be safe and smart. Always do ur research before believing anything ur governments or other organizations are telling u 💯💫✨️ Great times are coming 🌞
Still cheaper than South Africa.
👍
No it isn't. What part of South Africa are you talking about? I was just there last year, and I rented Airbnb apartments in nice areas in suburban Johannesburg. I paid no more than $700 in Parkhurst and $600 in Faerie Glen. That's for 1 month with Airbnb, so prices are much lower renting on contract. It's not hard to lease modern 2 bedroom apartments for 4 to 500 in safe suburbs of Pretoria. And you don't have to hang your clothes on the balcony like they do in Turkey! The cost of meat like beef & lamb is lower in SA. I got lamb chops at Spar for under $4. Lattes at Starbucks for $ l.50. At a neighborhood Chinese restaurant in Faerie Glen with food served by chefs in white coats, meals costed no more than 4 to 5 dollars for takeout. There was also a cheap neighborhood grocer in Faerie Glenn where you'll find fruits & vegetables for less than Turkiye prices. However, at major stores like Woolworths or Checkers, groceries tend to be more expensive. But still far less than the US. Maybe you should give SA another try. Stay away from the tourist areas where they'll jack you, but that's easy because SA is not a big tourist destination like Turkiye
Tough, we've all got our problems. Move bck to yourown country if you don'tlike it,y ou're not a prisoner.
Yes indeed, prices have gone up. Is it still a good idea to buy an apartment in Antalya ?
Hi, as I am hearing that the demand for real estate in Türkiye is down now. So, I believe if you have some money to invest and you found something that it is worth with good price, why not.
Thanks for the video. Please let me know if there is a website for houses rent that I can use?
You are welcome! You can check sahibinden.com
as always great video
You are welcome!😊
Hello, could you please tell me how much cost for a single journey on bus fare . ?
We want to travel tomorrow and not sure how much money needs to put on Antalya kart as it’s our first time
Hi, 15 TL lira for one ride per person. You can use the same card for more than one person, but you have to tell the bus driver after tapping the first person's fees.
Thank you
@@devangi2728 - Just to add to that, it is one ride which does not necessarily mean that your ride will take you to your destination. If you need to change 3 times, then it is 3 times the price :(
Thank you for the information, we been today and luckily it was only one straight journey,
Do they have day ticket option. ? ( like we have in the UK) so someone needs to make more then 2 journey works out cheaper
thanks for info
Hi buddy hope you're well. I'm visiting Alanya in a few weeks time. Do you know the best place for AAA clothes and watches please?
Hi, there is the market beside the Marina with plenty of shops, but not aware of any in particular. Enjoy your trip!
Antalya is a tourist trap. Try Aegean Region
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. There are scams sometimes that can ruin the trip, but also there are still good places and friendly people.
I don't agree. Antalya is beautiful and the quality of life the top. All inclusive hotels with delicious food less than $100 a night with superior service and on the beach. What do you want more ?
About cellphones
You mean my device wont work after 3 months, even if i have put a Turkish sim card in it?
Hi, yes. Even if you put a Turkish SIM it will not operate. Mobiles will stop working after 90 days if not registered in Türkiye.
@@tiptopturkey so crazy! I have never heard something like that ever before. I know you're talking about making phone calls and and not doing anything else with your phone. What about my laptop?
Unfortunately this is the law in Türkiye. Any device that accepts a SIM card with IMEI will face the same issue once connected to the network providers.
Paid £92"for squid rings x2 garlic prawns, 2x donner kebab, chicken shish and 4 cokes and 2 beers in fethiye recently. Turkey has lost is affordability.
Unfortunately, you're right.
How much money we need to shift in turkey ???
Excellent Video
so do you recommend Turkey for New commers?
Glad you liked it! Well, I recommend Türkiye for everyone as in the tourist and expats areas, it is nice and peaceful. Language is the only barrier.
It's such a shame for the Turkish people 😪😪😪😪
👍
Thank you!
150$ for checkup in Türkiye is godsend, In USA if you just say hi to hospital along insurance bang you get at least 1k US $, we the people of USA are getting screwed by our government
Why do you blame the govt? The US Healthcare system is privately run
Hello me and my wife are planning to go to turkey in August ! With the whole Israel and Iran conflict is it safe for tourist to fly there and go to Istanbul and anatalya
Hi, yes, it is safe.
Turkey is a very safe place to be especially in tourist areas. Turkish people are very respectful to foreigners.
ahoj Mato, do Vietnamu, Kambodze sa nechystas?

Glad you liked it! 😊
