What it's actually like here

Dreaming of sunshine and a low cost of living? This Turkish gem might be your next digital nomad hub. Financially, it’s a winner: you can snag a 1-bedroom apartment in the city center for around $420, and even eat out regularly without breaking the bank (a cheap meal is just $7). Groceries for the month? A manageable $320. It's perfect for nomads prioritizing budget and a vibrant, warm-weather lifestyle. The internet, at 50 Mbps, is decent enough for most work, and with 6 coworking spaces, you'll find places to plug in. Safety is generally good (70/100), and the air quality is moderate. However, a small caveat: while English proficiency is moderate, don't expect everyone to be fluent, so learning some basic Turkish phrases will go a long way in making your daily life smoother.
