Costs of living in Istanbul

Hello Ansiur,

Istanbul is really expensive than other cities in Turkey.
I can tell you that as i'm an Turkish guy i lived in istanbul before my new place.

this is the web forum uludagsozluk.com/k/bir-%C3%BCniversite-%C3%B6%C4%9Frencisinin-ayl%C4%B1k-masraf%C4%B1/22/ peoples talks about monthly expense for any university students who lives in istanbul.

If you would like to rent a flat in average locations, price is around 600-800 TL / month

Internet, Electricity, water, phone etc bills. 200-250 TL / month

Food 400-600 TL / month

Here is some idea about food prices in istanbul,

Doner : 4 TL
Hamburger : 6-10 TL
Drinking ( cola, ayran smilar ) 1-2 TL
Standard 2-3 course meal in average restaurant : 10-20 TL

Good luck.
