But it was just as good as yours!  

I visited Dalyan at the end of the tourist season last year, and I was surprised about how dead it was. I wouldn´t want to live there all year round. I would urge to not make money your primary factor, but just overall living comfort your primary factor. Ofcourse money is important, but if a place is boring but cheap, you´ll still have a horrible time living there. Perhaps you could go look for forums that are specialized in the seperate towns you are thinking about. Most towns have a forum for expats. There you can see what the real differences are for foreign people who are living there, instead of differences with regard to being there in holiday.

The fact is that, these kind of touristic destinations lose their spirit when season gets ended. Those touristic destinations are generally located nearby small towns and so when seaons is opened tourists start to come there, it seems those places are very active. But when season is closed and tourists leave the destinations, in fall and winter, these places fall into a deep silence, only native people remain around there.

So, at first glance, these small touristic destinations look like a good alternative to live and spend years in summers but when nature fell asleep, you see that the fact is actually not that one.

thanks.

I quite like the falling asleep bit after all the tourists have gone
