What should I pack when moving to Izmir?
We asked people living in Izmir to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Izmir, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the warm Mediterranean climate, such as light, breathable fabrics and comfortable shoes. Bring items that will help you stay cool, such as a fan or air conditioning unit. Additionally, pack items that will help you adjust to the culture, such as a Turkish phrasebook and a guidebook to the city. Don't forget to bring any necessary documents, such as your passport and visa. Finally, make sure to bring any items that will make your new home feel like home, such as photos, books, and other personal items," said another expat in Izmir, Turkey.
"At the moment, the only things I wish I would have brought with me are a nice tin of baking cocoa, some good quality slippers in a size 10 for ladies and my collection of dvds," wrote a member who made the move to Izmir, Turkey.
