I moved to Alanya this summer, between myself and my wife we spend less than $1000.00. We love it here.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Great! We’ll be there after March 4th. Email us if you wish to do an interview with us. [e-mail]

Great video. So interesting to see such affordability in a very liveable place. Amazing apartment for that price.Thanks to you both and to Natalie.

[@kevinhughes2440]

Just seen a holiday in Antalya flying from Newcastle upon Tyne England 7days all inclusive transfers luggage included for £289 per person. I find that incredible value. I desperately want to go but my wife is complaining it would be too cold. I'm seriously thinking of going on my own.😂😂

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Hopefully you can get her onboard to go. It may not be beach weather but it’s looking like highs 16-19 Celsius every day for the next week.

[@BALDANDRETIRED]

hey Warren once you are in Istanbul let me know. I think we should explain more to fellow Americans more about Turkey which is the best place to retire in the world now

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

We’ll see when we get back that way. 😁

[@robbydad4321]

Your videos are so informative. The cost of living is amazingly unbelievable for the quality. One thing I noticed though is that the Turkish apartments are usually partitioned into separate rooms like the kitchen and living room. I think these are the older designs. I wonder if there are more of the American style open floor plans with the newer ones. Looking forward to your next video about medical insurance. I hope you can compare the insurance to the American Medicare Advantage for retirees. Out here, the part B of Medicare which cost $170 per month is usually used to purchase a plan from private insurers. These are sort of HMO’s that will take that amount and provide the services that you might need such as doctor visits, labs and medicines. Part A takes care of hospitalization. Are there similar plans out there?

[@beaulong3270]

That’s also what I’m very interested in as well. My mom is wanting to live there and on social security. Hoping we can get something figured out soon. Can you let me know what you find out? Thanks. :)

[@precursors]

In Turkey kitchens are actively used for cooking daily, and in open designs the smells from cooking kinda linger in the living room area so it is not very popular.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Please see our recent Residency video, contact our residency expert regarding her specific insurance needs.

[@meralodem]

They do that ' Amerikan Mutfak '' mostly in studio apartment to save from the space. We prefer to have the kitchen seperate cause the smell would sink on the walls even though we use fans ( aspiratör )still small amounts of grease would stick here and there, so it is a minus to have American kitchen

[@BALDANDRETIRED]

incredibly affordable place to live

Checked AirBnbs, most where $900-1000/month yikes!! Not sure how you find these lower cost apartments.. these are long term leases?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Airbnb’s are typically 3 to 4 times higher than long term rates for a typical 12 month lease. If you watch the video with where we stayed we paid over $1,200 in winter for a great two bedroom, summer is the highest season.

[@wakanda6754]

Pondering, the prayer call is non negotiable... This is a very decent apartment and price. Have you guys been to the beaches, are they swimmable, without big waves. Thx for sharing! I wonder what view would the doggies have if they could share, and what's their preferred place.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Turkey is Secular and nobody acts any different on the street when the call is sounding. The beaches are swimmable, we’ve seen some brave people in the cold water, but it’s too cold for us. The Dogs are loving Antalya, great parks and long walks.

[@oguzb.7033]

10 million people a year from around the world come to Antalya to swim actually :)

[@meralodem]

We have many beaches which has '' blue flag ''

Are there pests in antalya,like house geckoes and cockroaches and mosquitoes and snakes and garden lizards?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

I’m not sure, not at this time of the year at least.

[@beaulong3270]

My mom is wanting to relocate from the USA. She is on social security but wondering about healthcare there. She is 67. Is there a way to get Medicare to cover over there or would she be able to apply for local coverage? Just looking into this so anyone that can help with this would be awesome. :)

@@ozgursoylemez2733 the health insurance for her was $1000 a month. Lol that is crazy. But I am going to keep asking and researching till I find out about local and private insurance over there. People keep saying talk to this person, find an expert, talk to a relocation specialist?? What is that? It’s just been very frustrating that no one can give a straight answer.

[@mentezari]

Hi Warren. My wife and I will be traveling through Türkiye for 4 weeks next March from California. Do we need to purchase health insurance? Thank you. Mark

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

It’s not required as a tourist, check your regular medical policy to see if they cover you internationally, if it doesn’t and you have concerns then you may want to purchase coverage. Turkey has low costs for services, so for routine issues you are probably fine paying out of pocket. If something major happens is probably your only and main concern. We carry a $2,500 deductible, and have not used our coverage the past 29 months as we’ve traveled. We hope we never use it, but it’s there for a worse case scenario. If you apply for residency, you will need to show proof of medical coverage. As a tourist it’s good for piece of mind, but it’s not required.

dear lady, Turkish toilet is perfect for health. Completely empties both the bladder and bowels.In addition, cleaning of the anus is very important for both men and especially women..The vagina of every woman who does not clean her anus with water is open to the disease. Men or women should clean their anus and genitals with water..Islam commands that both clothes and body be clean before praying.
