Is Turkey still affordable in 2026? In this video I break down the real cost of living in Turkey 2026, including solo expat budgets, family of four (2+2) budgets, rent, groceries, transport, schools, healthcare and hidden costs many relocation videos ignore. We compare Istanbul vs Antalya, look at realistic monthly budgets from $1,500 for solo expats to $3,500+ for families, and discuss whether moving to Turkey still makes financial sense. I also cover one huge story almost nobody is talking about: Turkey’s proposed 20-year tax break for foreign income and why it could change the relocation equation for remote workers, investors and digital nomads.
