Retire in Antalya, Turkey

"Retirees in Antalya and its surroundings enjoy a vibrant and active lifestyle. There is a large expat community in the area, providing retirees with plenty of opportunities to socialize and make new friends. There are also plenty of cultural attractions to explore, such as the ancient ruins of Perge, the Kaleiçi old town, and the Yivli Minare Mosque. For recreation, retirees can take advantage of the many beaches, parks, and outdoor activities available in the area. There is also a lively nightlife scene, with plenty of bars, clubs, and restaurants to explore," said a retiree who moved to Antalya, Turkey.

"Very relaxing. From Kemer where I used to live, there were very few expats living there, except during the summer months when a lot come to spend time in their holiday homes. In Antalya there are quite a number of expats living there from various countries. In Istanbul where I now live is a large number of expats, spread out in different areas. There is an active group called Internations, who hold a variety of events during the year. In the area where my Turkish wife and I live, there does not seem many expats living here. Turkey is full of ancient ruins, which are well worth seeing. Istanbul has itself a great wealth of cultural activities as well as many sights to visit. Here there are a variety of recreational activities to pursue, with a wide diversity of nightlife suitable for all ages," said one retiree in Antalya.
