1000tl for rent is on the lower side so it depends where in Izmir you will live. You can find less expensive, so it depends on your budget. The prices have risen in the last year. The transportation system is great so even if you live in smaller village transportation is not a big concern.

Furnished for 1300....maybe not ...I had to buy everything including the white goods. However it’s fairly inexpensive to furnish your home of course depending on your taste. If you look at sites like OfferUp, you can get four rooms of furniture very easily if you don’t mind secondhand. For work the only experience I have as a foreigner is that of an English teacher so I’m not sure about the business side of it. As an English teacher you can make a good enough wage to support yourself and family. Right now there’s a big shortage of English teachers of course native speakers Tend to have a little bit better of a salary again based on my experience. In my opinion, speaking Arabic should be a great asset with the influx of refugees but I’m not sure how you would go about exploring what opportunities exist for you and that spectrum.
