Welcome and Hosgeldiniz,

LivingInTurkey.net is the brain child of two stay-at-home mothers living abroad in Turkey. Away from family and friends we have had to find a way to make ourselves whole again. We found each other and became good friends. After the birth of my preemie son I knew we would be friends for life. In our attempts to make friends and discoveries for ourselves, we found limited resources in English about Izmir were we live. We were both lucky to be married to Turks but that is not always the case for other foreigners living or visiting Turkey. We hope that creating this website can provide some light to situations that might otherwise seem impossible.

 

At the moment our website has five major functions. The Classifieds which help you buy and sell your stuff, post jobs and sell vehicles and homes. The Izmir Guide which gives information about living in Izmir. Turkish Living Guide is mainly to provide information relevant to all of Turkey. Fourth, the Izmir Directory lists out store, business, restaurants, and shops in Izmir. Last but not least, the Expat Journal which will have monologues from foreign friends living in Turkey. We will continually be updating the articles on our site and expanding the Izmir Directory.

 

We want to wish you the best of luck during your time in Turkey. Whether it is long or short we hope to have make it just a little better. Please pass on our website to everyone you can think of and thank you for your support.
