Moving to Turkey by Cherub20
Hi everybody, new to this site and would just like a little information to help me follow my dream of moving to Turkey. I recently took a TEFL course in teaching english, I am also teaching myself Turkish every free moment I have, and would realy ...
Hi Cherub From what I've heard from other people (we live in Fethiye), Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Antalya might be the best places to look for TEFL work as they have a lot of larger private language schools that may be able to arrange your work ... Read More

Expats: I am potentially moving my family to Istanbul in June 2010. For perspective, my wife and I are 36 and my daughter is age 11. The biggest concern I have is the safety of my wife and daughter. I Have read some stories about trafficking of ...
Hi Hank We don't live in Istanbul but have visited many times. Hopefully you'll get a reply from expats living there. We're the same age as you but have no children. As far as I can see, 'street smart' is all it takes, as in any other city of the ... Read More

Going out in Istanbul by expat.com
Hi there, Which are your 10 favorite places to go out in Istanbul? Which places would you recommend to newcomers? (restaurants, pubs, discos, theaters, cinemas, concert halls...) Thanks!
I'm not going to recommend any places as such. If you go to Istanbul without indulging in all the amazing street food, then you've missed out on the joy of Istanbul! Read More
Turkish cuisine. by Nat_Dantes
I love Turkish food. Dining out that is...not cooking it. Cooking it? I wouldn't know where to start! For instance, on a number of occasions I've thought about trying to make dolma...but been hesitant because I would be in competition with my ...

American Expat in Saudi thinking about a holiday in Istanbul!! by Alliecat
Hi, Folks! I'm single and have been living/working in KSA for 6 months. I am planning some much needed R&R (well, I don't exactly want to rest--I want to sight-see, drink lots of wine, eat lots of good food, go to the cinema and maybe a club or two ...
Hmmm, Not sure on that one really. We're a couple so I've never had the 'lone female traveller' experience. The thing with Turkey is, the people are a curious bunch and love to come and speak to you - only you can decide if this is general ... Read More

Hi Liz, Sorry, Not signed in for a few days. Buying a house in Turkey is VERY easy - that's why we ended up with one. We decide we wanted it on the Monday and moved in on the Thursday!! There are no surveys involved - I guess you take the gamble. ... Read More
