the stray dogs put me off ! we visited a Greek island where I befriended a stray golden retriever I was heartbroken to leave him behind when it was time to return home ((
There are free gym equipment all overTurkey in the parks. Fethiye, Antalya, Alanya are very hot and humid in the summer. If you want adry heat with a constant breeze then, Bodrum, Didim and Kusadasi is more for you…Also on chilly days or nights, if you’re sitting outside cafes and restaurants will always provide you a blanket, as the red ones you see in this video..
Watched a few videos from you on Turkey. Very well presented. You covered the culture, food and cost of living in a nice way. I appreciate you mostly gave positive views about a place which media has presented differently. Could you please give us a rough estimate for your weekly or monthly expenses for your style of travel in Turkey. Good luck to both of you.
Enjoying your videos. I love Turkey also have been coming since 1994. Love your doggies .keep up the good work.Hope to be in Kusadasi mid July Insallah.
We are paying a good amount for our current Airbnb, but you can go much cheaper. With $1,300 for lodging a month we are running about $2,200 a month total, not including buying clothes. We eat out twice a day on average. We could live on much less.
Did you guys meet Mick and Trudie? They are RUclipsrs like you, a British couple living in the Çaliş Beach area of Fethiye. Check out their RUclips videos, for tips.
Another fun video. Nice hear about the proper treatment of animals there. Warren, as you considered yourself retired, do you still work on the road in some capacity or do you live on your investments?
We’ve missed your comments lately. I really don’t work unless you count the RUclips channel, and responding to emails etc. I do make a little on commission and the RUclips channel, but we primarily live on dividends and interest.
The dogs are contented. No need for agression, which unless a dog is seriously ill or trained to be agressive, there's no need to 'fight' for survival.
Thanks for sharing tour/video. It looks like a very nice city, not sure if I can get used to the call to prayer announcements. How many times a day does that go on? Thanks again and safe travels.
5 times a day call for prayers BUT If there are mutiple mosques then multiply those 5 times with the number of mosques😁😁😁God bless all. Morning fajr call by all mosques are better then any alarm clock😇
Thanks for the videos. I noticed there is no sales tax charged on the food receipts. Is that right? How much do you have to tip for food by the way (if any)?
@Tawfik Barakat, Both cities have their pros and cons. It really depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a larger more metropolitan city on the water Antalya will offer you that. If you're looking for a smaller calmer city on the water Fethiye works better.
Hi, guys! Thanks a lot for your lovely video! It's very interesting and useful! Is there any British expat society and its activities in Marmaris/ Fethiye? Any website to join?
@Irina Sergukhina, there is a very large British Expat community in Didem as well. People who travel to Turkey often have learned to avoid the parts of towns with too many British expats. The Turkish coast is a very chill place with an easy going vibe (unless you're in an area with a lot of Brits, then it changes very quickly.) Before someone has a meltdown I'm not saying all British tourists and expats are like this, there are obviously exceptions. But for the most part they're very toxic.
@G I've spent time in all three of those places. If you're used to life in the west, you'll find all of those cities much safer than what you're accustomed to. Then again I might feel this way because I'm from America which is now like the crime capital of the world lol My wife won't walk around the streets of our city here past midnight, not if you paid her a million dollars. Where as in Turkey if she can't sleep she'll go for walks at like 3 am without even thinking about it.
@@user-lv4ov5rp6d New Jersey, we also spend a lot of time in PA. Anytime you leave the suburbs here you have to be careful. Crime rates in all major cities are terrifying.
Antalya ıs crowded City more bulildings then trees,bodrum iş very expensive mostly İstanbul rich people.fethiye more for you good nature not far to airport not crowded. You can check Marmaris or Dalyan as well . But question ıs you still thinking moving here ? Altough we are beatifull country we have many problem especiallly these days
You keep saying Turkey is like Ecuador. Turkey is nothing like Ecuador. Ecuador is rife with violent crimes. Go down the hill from Cuenca to the station market, but make it a quick visit because it's a very dangerous area. Other cities in Ecuador are similar whereas in Turkey it is rare for that type of crime to take place. A more comparable country for Americans would be someplace like Costa Rica, although there are pockets of heavy crime there also.
We are comparing large expat communities and the desire for that lifestyle. Julie and I have over 80 videos on Ecuador and we have many viewers there and that desire to go there. We are considered authorities on Ecuador. We have not been to Costa Rica, and I cannot speak to its expat community. We found great communities in Ecuador and many to avoid. Feel free to watch our Ecuador videos, we were there for over nine months.
@@user-lv4ov5rp6d Fethiye is like another world to anyone who comes here for the first time. Everyone's fear is that too many people will move there and change the city's character.

Things I just don't understand. They're British Ex-Pats, not immigrants? I mean if you move to live in the UK from Turkiye you are most definitely called an immigrant. It just seems a bit unfair. I think we should ditch the term ex-pat all together. If you leave your native country to live in another you are an immigrant.
Turks in Britain can be an Expat, I assume you’re American? Here is the definition we use and my statement from our Facebook Group: Let’s define the term Expat, we occasionally hear negative comments about the term expat from people in Latin America or South America, where some try to spin a false race or wealth definition. The term in Europe, and Asia does not exude this negativity and is better understood. So to clear any debate that may arise, here is my understanding and definition of Expat. An expat, encompasses individuals from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds who reside outside their native country. While the term "expat" is commonly associated with English-speaking individuals, it's essential to recognize that expatriates represent a diverse spectrum of nationalities, languages, and ethnicities. They may be professionals, students, retirees, or individuals seeking new experiences abroad. Expats contribute to the cultural fabric of their host countries, enriching communities with their unique perspectives, traditions, and skills. The expatriate community enhances cultural exchange and fosters understanding across borders, emphasizing that expatriatism transcends linguistic boundaries to encompass a global tapestry of experiences and identities.
It's great that they look after the cats and dogs although neutering would be better. I can't see them being animal lovers though. Plenty of animals being eaten there.
Since Turkey is a Muslim country, it does not consume animals other than halal meat. This includes white meat (chicken, turkey, goose, etc.), cow, lamb/sheep and fish. They do not consume other animals.
That's a weird logic to have. According to Google 1% of the world population is vegan. So by your way of thinking 99% of the world aren't animal lovers because they eat meat...
@@Skitz0frenix Precisely. We selectively eat some species and treat others with utter contempt. Some we keep as pets. Torture and cruel murder of 'food' animals which are usually extremely young is standard. People who think otherwise need to educate themselves about these practices rather than assume it's cruelty free. So how can people see themselves as animal lovers, whilst paying for the turture and murder of other animals...? Straight forward logic right there.

Great video! Did you always pay in cash at the restuarants/cafes or were you able to use debit/credit card from your own country?
We often use credit cards, but tips need to be done in cash.
Plz checkout DIDIM ,KUSADASI and CANAKALE too
We’ll see, we are going to Alanya after Antalya.
Thanks for the videos. I noticed there is no sales tax charged on the food receipts. Is that right? How much do you have to tip for food by the way (if any)?
I believe the tax is built into the price, we normally leave approximately 10% on a tip. It is however not required.
Interesting - looks a nice place to visit. I wonder how busy it gets ih the Summer?
In the summer, this area is full, I suggest you make a reservation in advance.
It’s packed from my understanding
I am thinking to retire in Antalya or fathyie what is your recommendation? Leaving the US in March going that way
They are both great options, but very different. Please explore both of possible, it really depends on the person.
I recommend checking the West coast of Turkey, Izmir, Aydin and Balikesir provinces are amazing and give you a more Aegean vibe.
@Tawfik Barakat, Both cities have their pros and cons. It really depends on what you're looking for.

Hi, how much money would you recommend tourist's doing excursions and resturants in fethiye would need per day?
It depends on the excursions and your food choices.
Hi Warren do you prefer Fethiye or Antalya
Tough comparison, it depends on your likes and wants in a location.
We want to move to Turkey from Scandinavia. Is Antalya, Bodrum, or Fethiye the best and safest place for a family to move to?
all are safe, but Bodrum is posh and on the more expensive side than the other places. I'd recommend checking the Izmir (Cesme and Kusadasi) area too.
@G I've spent time in all three of those places. If you're used to life in the west, you'll find all of those cities much safer than what you're accustomed to.
