Unless you’re thinking of moving to live in Istanbul, chances are you will find the cost of living in Turkey is incredibly reasonable. Naturally enough the main tourism resorts and big cities have prices on a par with many international hotspots – but away from the madding crowds the day to day cost of living is incredibly affordable.

Hi,

just to complement the picture in Istanbul, I would moderate a bit the "low cost" of living in Istanbul. Would compare to France, typically restaurants are really cheap! Same for electricity, and confirm the figures given above.
But when it comes to flat rent and cars (biggest part of the budget, unless you go to restaurant every day...), it is very similar to France. (same standing of course). It might be surprising considering min/average salary in Turkey compared to France.

Beside this, life is great here. But if you consider moving to Istanbul, don't rely fully on difference of cost of living. There is one, but limited: 15-20% max.
