Quoting ironpetal:

Hi I've been living in Turkey now for the last 12 months. I find it is quite different from just visiting. Yes winter time is the hardest when you are occupying your time and depending on where you live there is not much open perhaps.

I have spent most of my time going into the centrum and shopping, going to the gym, meeting friends etc I do not live with anyone.

I rent an apartment in the Fethiye area. Fethiye is a working village. Nearby is Çaliş Beach. So I have the best of both worlds if I want it. Although there is not much sunshine around enough to sunbath but walking and taking the air is good.

I have Turkish families to the right and left of me I have always lived either within a Turkish house or in the community with the chickens, goats etc.

I am english (Obviously)I have not regretted coming to Turkey to live as it is truly a breathtaking place to be.
