Get a job in Antalya

You can move to Antalya by yourself, with a friend or as a couple. There are pros and cons to all of the situations. If you consider moving abroad with any kind of friend it can be a really good idea to sit down and talk through practical and everyday stuff such as economy, bills, cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking vs ordering, going out/staying in, how you deal with potentially going out without each other as well as having friends and family visiting (from near and far and extended visits). Apart from the practical arrangements, life is fun when you can share your new core memories with other people – so it is very recommendable to move abroad together. Moving with a friend can cause you to interact less with new people compared to if you move abroad by yourself. But if this is a good or a bad thing entirely depends on your personal goals and wishes as well as your personality.

Conclusion: communication is key if you and your friend decide to move abroad together

Trams are the best way to travel through the city. There are two sorts: the AntRay and the Nostalgic Tram. The AntRay is a modern tram system with lines going to the airport and city centre. The Nostalgic Tram is slower and more scenic, running through the old town. The AntRay is the best option for daily commute. 

Buses also cover most of the city, but they are slower because of the traffic. You can use the Antalyakart for travelling. This is a prepaid smart card which you use to check in and check out for every trip.

The costs of living in Antalya are relatively cheap, compared to western European countries and cities like Istanbul. Living costs vary depending on factors such as accommodation, lifestyle choices, and personal preferences. Rent prices can vary, with options available for different budgets, but it’s possible to find affordable housing options. Daily expenses such as groceries, dining out, and transportation are also quite cheap. It’s important to note that individual circumstances and choices can greatly impact the overall cost of living in the city.

One of the popular areas for European expats in Antalya is Konyaaltı. This neighbourhood is close to the beach and offers lots of things to do in your spare time. Kaleiçi is also very popular. This is an area in the Old Town and offers historic and charming streets with Ottoman architecture. If you prefer living in areas where the rent is lower, go for neighbourhoods like Kepez or Varsak. And if you travel a lot, consider Aksu, an area close to the airport of Antalya.

The weather is one of the most important reasons why Antalya is popular among expats. All year round, you can enjoy nice temperatures. Even in winter, temperatures can still reach 14–18°C sometimes. Summer and autumn are the hottest seasons. In summer, temperatures reach 32–36°C and rain is rare.
