Living in Turkey 

An increasing number of people from various parts of the world are moving to Turkey to start a new life, to work or even to find peace of mind for their retirements.

The country has developed dramatically in the last ten years and the pace of progress in certain fields is nothing short of astonishing.

Most of Turkey's new residents hail from countries like the UK, Germany, Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Belgium, France and the USA.

With its unique geographical location combined with a rich and diverse history, right in the cradle of many different civilizations, Turkey is a privileged place to live for expatriates and their families.

Turkey is located in middle latitudes. Therefore it has four distinct seasons. Morover, due to its widely varried geographical position (factors like altitudes, land formations, position and extention of mountains) different seasonal conditions are experienced at the same time. For example in January, while some people go for swimming to seaside, the ground of Taurus Mountains in the vicinity is covered with snow and the tourists there are skiing.
