TRY on a relative basis is doing well against EUR and USD, so also in EUR things are more expensive (also in TRY for locals).Turkey is doing quite well, but clearly not as cost-effective as a few years ago, but people are great and so is (in our ... Read More

I do live on the coast (Alanya/Mahmutlar).I gave my views before, Turkey is not so cheap as before, that is fine for me (or I have to accept)Health insurance (we are 63 and 54) is not so cheap, but I have to say very acceptable and with private ... Read More
Chess course or club for kids in Mahmutlar by Kathra Sa
Hi, I was wondering if you know any chess courses or clubs for summer vacation in Mahmutlar for kids from 7 and 10 years and up. Thank you in advance.
No chess clubs as I know, my wife gives lessons, but only for our complex on a voluntary basis. I looked myself for chessclubs (I am a FM), but no success. Alanya/Mahmutlar realy should have a chessclub, sad they do not have. Read More

@Fred Who needs poor (not spending) expats, Turkey should be stronger in this respect. Anyhow Turkey is exceeding some of the EU countries. People can come to Hungary/Bulgaria/Romania (EU is a plus).I love the infrastucture, low crime, conveniences, ... Read More

@azmarina91 Bottom line Turkey needs people who spend (this can be through renting, but better through buying), why do you not buy (prices are not too bad at all)?Indeed a lawyer is not needed, but support is.They really seem to focus on marriage ... Read More

What Turkey needs from expats? by cdw057
I am a bit disappointed with posts complaining 100 EUR here and there. Syrian refugees would be happy to have even EUR 500 pm. For expats from the UK/Germany/....Turkey is getting more expensive (true), in a way that is also good. Poor Germans (many ...
@blabla13 True things are much more expensive (we also feel this), but Turkey reamains great, even if more expensive than for example Hungary (all these increases of minimum salaries in Turkey drive many honest business owners crazy).Nevertheless (I ... Read More
