What do expats in Turkey appreciate most about the local culture?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Turkey. They wrote...

"Turks are very curious about foreigners and are very warm, kind-hearted people generally. They are, by and large, very sincere," said another expat in Istanbul, Turkey.

"I really like how everyone is so hospitable and they love to tell you about Turkey. Everyone wants to present a good image of their country. The healthcare is wonderful and so is the food (both which are cheaper than in the US). I love the historical sites and the greenery. The pace of life is much more relaxed here in Izmir than in Istanbul and that is really a blessing. Everyone loves to sing and some people will just break out in song (almost feel like I'm in a Hindi film sometimes :-)," wrote a member who made the move to Izmir, Turkey.
