We have been living in the Fethiye area just under a year and have seen prices soar here and it just cannot be subtainable for lots of brits living here soon with losing the interest on savings, you can quote all inflation figures but just do basic price compares, fuel in cheaper in the UK as is most food, especially meat, with the exception of veg, fruit and bread. Last week we were in the UK and clothes are cheaper there, just take a trip to Matalan or Asda (mostly made in Turkey). Wine and beer purchased in supermarkets,car tax, insurance about the same, not sure about electric, gas etc. So take that all into account, UK has better roads, lighting, can legally work if need to have some kind of income. Therefore what was so attractive about living in Turkey is fast dwiddling and I am sure if prices continue on this route in Turkey, more people will be pressured to returning to the UK which will be a shame because of the weather, people and wonderful views.
