"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Istanbul is the cost of living. Istanbul is a major city and the cost of living is higher than in other parts of the country. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who do not speak Turkish. The culture and customs of Istanbul can also be difficult to adjust to, especially for those who are used to living in a different country. Finally, the healthcare system in Istanbul can be difficult to navigate, as it is not as developed as in other countries," remarked another expat in Istanbul, Turkey.
