The only good thing about the car prices is that we could get more for ours now 2 years on than we paid for it.
The tax and insurance is as cheap as chips as it's an older car with a small engine.
We spend on average 35tl a week at the market, and about another 50 each week in BIM, but don't eat much meat it her than chicken.
Occasional trips to Kipa for items we can't get in BIM, so average food bill about £40 a week, compared to the £80 or so I was spending 3 years ago in UK.
Out last electricity bill was 70tl, water is a pittance, and gas bottle 210 tl a year.
Rental depends as said above, ours is really good value, but we have no pool, although the longer were here the more we think we wouldn't want the hassle, it's so easy to go to hotels and the sea is down the road.
You will need to consider the cost if health insurance as well now for residency.
A lot of people complain about that, but it's about 9 tl a day for first class cover.
If you live like you do in UK a I think you will manage easily, if you live like you're on holiday you will struggle.
The most expensive thing for us is when family and friends come over, eating out and trips, etc and I like to go back and see family a couple of times a year, so those costs need thinking about too.
