Turkey is a country of massive diversity: within just one nation you can find unlimited vibrancy and positive energy...
Those considering moving abroad to live an affordable life in the sun with views of the Med or the Aegean have thousands of kilometres of coastline to explore from south west to south east Turkey. Each particular resort has its own feel and atmosphere and it may take the individual many trips to Turkey to find their perfect spot. Possibly the best way to begin a search is by taking a trip to Turkey out of season and basing oneself in or near one of the bigger resorts such as Kusadasi, Bodrum, Marmaris, Antalya, Alanya or Side and then going out each and every day and getting to know the real Turkey.
Younger couples might enjoy the vibrancy of resort living and benefit from the employment opportunities that present themselves in the long spring, summer and Autumn season. Older couples and retirees might like living within easy bus or car trip of large towns such as Kusadasi, Marmaris or Fethiye but enjoy the seclusion and peace and quiet of lesser explored nearby fishing ports or inland towns. Finally, for families with children for whom international schools are important then Antalya is THE place to go other than Istanbul or Ankara as it has the greatest choice of schooling and related child friendly amenities and social activities.
Whatever type of life you dream of having there’s a high chance you’ll find what you’re looking for inTurkey it’s an exciting nation on the brink of dramatic change, its government and the majority of its people are embracing Western traditions and standards without sacrificing their own culture, they welcome foreign citizens – especially those who make an effort to fit in and add to a community - and as the nation develops so it improves and month to month the standard of living in Turkey is improving.
What`s the weather like?
Warm in the winter time and with a lot less rainfall than Northern Europe. People living on the Aegean Cost enjoy 320 days of sunshine on average per year; overcoats are rare sight even in December and January. In the summer other parts of Turkey are considered to be too hot. But The Aegean part is slightly less hot then the South part of the country. Especially Antalya and Alanya area has rather humid weather. It should be noted that other parts of Turkey do not benefit from the wonderful climate enjoyed by the people living in Kusadasi and Altinkum(didim)
Turkey has two European and six Asian countries for neighbors along its land borders.
The land border to the northeast with the Commonwealth of Independent States is 610 kilometers long; that with Iran, 454 kilometers long, and that with Iraq 331 kilometers long. In the south is the 877 kilometer-long border with Syria. Turkey`s borders on the European continent consist of 212-kilometer frontier with Greece and a 269-kilometer border with Bulgaria.
Because of its geographical location the mainland of Anatolia has always found favor throughout history, and is the birthplace of many great civilizations. It has also been prominent as a center of commerce because of its land connections to three continents and the sea surrounding it on three sides.
Turkey is generally divided into seven regions; the Black Sea region, the Marmara region, the Aegean, the Mediterranean, Central Anatolia, the East Anatolian and Southeast Anatolia regions. The uneven north Anatolian terrain running along the Black Sea resembles a narrow but long belt. The land of this region is approximately one-sixth of Turkey`s total land area.
