Having spent two years here we are now thinking of moving to Turkey & was wondering if anyone had any advice / recommendations on moving our stuff over (probably a 7.5 ton lorry would do)



Any ideas or advice please..........................................





PS.......... if anyone has any links to forums or advice on Turkey then please fire away





thanks

We complain about the cost of residency here but have alook at the cost per year in Turkey!

I live in Antalya and have done for the past 6 years. As Msg 6 says the cost of a Residency Permit is horrendous.The new price for a 5 year one is around 3200 TL.Also a great deal depends on where you are planning to live.Izmir,Bodrum and Fethiye are a lot colder than Antalya or Alanya during the winter period.If you are planning to rent then a typical apartment say with three bedrooms etc. will cost you around 600 / 750 TL per month in a decent area.To buy is anybodys guess but get a Turk to ask the asking price or you will be ripped off.The other downside is that you cannot buy ' English ' food here unless you are prepared to pay a fortune.We travel to Girne three or four times a year to ' stock up '. Oh, the driving is ten times worse than NC. If you need any other info ask away.
