What to expect when moving to Turkey

Hello everyone,

Is there anything you wish you had known before moving to Turkey? For example, transportation, internet speeds, types of housing, aspects of the culture or social life.

In your opinion, what's the most important thing to know about Turkey?

When would you recommend someone should begin planning their move to Turkey?

What were the most helpful ways you found to get organised? For example, did you use a checklist, were there any particularly useful websites or apps?

What advice would you give to future expats preparing to move to Turkey?

Thank you for sharing your experience.
