"One of the most rewarding aspects of retiring in Turkey is the opportunity to experience a unique culture and way of life. The country is home to a rich history and vibrant culture, with a variety of attractions and activities to explore. The cost of living in Turkey is also relatively low, making it an attractive option for retirees looking to stretch their retirement savings. Additionally, the country boasts a Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and mild winters, making it an ideal place to enjoy the outdoors. Finally, Turkey is home to a diverse population, with a variety of religions and cultures, making it a great place to meet new people and make new friends," remarked another expat who made the move to Turkey.
