Hi!

I am 25 years old and I am thinking to going to live in Turkey for half or 1 year. 

My plan is to rent a room in a sharing apartment. I like seaside places and I need internet access for my work. Which places do you think have the lower living costs and are nice to live?

I am thinking about the following places, I have heard that Urla is the best and cheapest choice. Which one do you think is the cheapest one?
dalyan
fethiye
gokova
turunc
urla
foca
ayvalik
bozcaada

Any other suggestion would be also great. 

Thanks a lot!
Ernest

Fethiye would be my choice from this list. It´s a big year round town with a large English speaking community and near loads of other places to visit. Ayvalik is nice but would be too far north for me. All the others are a bit seasonal. 

Just one opinion.

tnx for your response. Is your choice also from the costs perpective? Because this is my primary factor.

I think Fethiye is as cheap as anywhere else especially compared to some of the other resort type places you mentioned and living costs are reasonable if you eat and shop where the locals do. There are Turkish users on this site who are more qualified to advise you in this regard. All I can say is, I´ve been to all the places you listed(except Urla-where´s that? ) and Fethiye would be my choice.

 

(Just found Urla on the map-been past it on the way to Çeşme)

Fethiye is best one among them, Urla is not that beautiful, as Fethiye exists in the list. Ayvalık and Bozcaada remain in northern Turkey and season is not that long around there and they are commonly preferred by people who live in and around Istanbul, as summerhouse. I don´t know about Foça and Dalyan but as Gökova is a bay, sea is clean and season is long like in all southern resorts. If I would have had to make a choise in the list, I would definitely choose Fethiye.

 

btw: Urla is a small seaside town of İzmir.

 

thanks.

great, I will check all those places again. Do you think it is any huge difference in prices between Altinkum and Fethiye? From what I saw by photos, Fethiye is really great. On other site many people said Altinkum would be the cheapest place to live.

I don´t like Altinkum.  Marmaris is cheap.
