Yoshi, recently I have been hearing and have also spoken to people who retired to Turkey. This idea is great when you are healthy and strong and in pre or early retirement phase.
I was speaking to a very sad elderly lady a few days ago in a shop in Fethiye. She is selling up and moving back. She told me it was always her dream to move to Turkey and she has loved it here, but now her husband is quite old and she has medical problems, there is no alternative but to move back to the U.K. I think also her problem is money, buying cheaply in Turkey years ago, using up most of the saving and then having to sell up and see what money is left to buy something in the U.K.
My husband and I had a long discussion about this, age and illness problem which now seems to be a common thing. We seem to know of more and more people moving back. One reason why we would not move permanently. He just retired, we are both fit and healthy now, but no one knows how we wll be in 20 years time.
So keep perhaps keep this in mind for the future. It is great to retire and move out, not so great when age and health problems hit and you have may have to move back.
