Moving from England/UK to Turkiye 鈽� by Dee Willis
Merhaba, We are planning to move and live in Turkiye from next year. I was wondering if anyone moved their furniture and electrical goods with them. I am a Turkish citizen and my husband is British. I heard that customs might be difficult and ...
Hello, I brought some of my electrical goods and I wish I brought them all. Especially the kitchen gadgets and robots. They are so expensive here and the cheap ones (Turkish made) are of bad quality, they break almost instantly. We did not have to ... Read More
Most common scams in T眉rkiye by Cheryl
Hello everyone, Settling in T眉rkiye as an expat implies navigating into a new and unfamiliar environment and habits, making you potentially vulnerable to scammers. Whether it’s immigration or finance advice, housing scam, online traps or ...
Restaurants have two menus in Turkiye. One for the Turkish people and one for the foreigners. We learned the hard way as we have paid almost double the price on many occasions until we were told to ask for the menu for the Turkish people. Also, when ... Read More
More power outages by Fedy23
For the past few weeks, we've been experiencing power outages. It's disheartening really! The temperatures are now in the 30s and we are without water and electricity for hours at the time. Last week, my freezer defrosted and I had to throw away ...
@kzein聽 It's a weird norm聽 then. In 2025, in Turkiye to have some maintenance work done in the main road, the whole county has to be cut off from the electric system! It's almost like a very bad joke. No, I don't live in a bad area or ... Read More

@Gino_C Thank you Gino, I really appreciate your suggestions and yes it is something we are thinking of suggesting to the management in out next meeting. We are also considering solar panels. However, it is a pricey option but a great investment. ... Read More

Dogs problems by Fedy23
So, since living in Antalya my family and I have been attacked by dogs few times. I am a runner and as I am out for my run I often meet dogs in the streets. Sometimes, packs of dogs have attacked without biting me or my family but lately, ...
@Gino_C I would be grateful if you could share the one you have purchased. Mine it's from Hepsiburada and it is called Sonik. This one ... Read More

@kzein I don't believe so. My old phone from the UK isn't working anymore. And right now I cannot afford a new one. I am not totally sure why they do this. Could it be down to the fact that they want you to buy Turkish made products? Read More

@Gino_C Thank you for your suggestion. That's the gadget I bought when I arrived in Antalya but unfortunately it doesn't always work. For whatever reason it's not as effective. It works on cats! Hardly on dogs. Read More

Sending and receiving packages in Turkey by Priscilla
Hello, As an expat, there are inevitably certain items you might want or need from back home, and around the holiday period, many people like to send gift packages. How easy is it to send and receive packages in Turkey? Is the public postal ...
@cdw057That's your personal experience. Where I live the internet is extremely slow, the services are almost non existent, the place is extremely dirty and Antalya is very expensive. We purchase 3 kitchen blender since we arrived because the quality ... Read More

@conniewhelan I am not sure about the way they operate. The main issue in Turkiye, I feel, it is the lack of quality assurance. There isn't any! No checks at all. Everything it is done ' just because'.....I don't know if you understand what I mean. ... Read More
