Furnishing a property in Turkey?
Furniture is generally cheap, and can be custom made by local craftsmen if required. It is possible to buy in most towns at very competitive rates, with a wide range of goods. Electrical items are less expensive than in England. Towels and linen are cheaper than Europe, however, household goods are extremely cheap and can be purchased at the local markets.
What is the weather like?
Turkey has seasons with almost 300 sunny days on the Mediterranean Coast. In winter, you will find the temperatures by the south coast ranging from 5-15 degrees Celsius, in spring it warms up to 25. The summer is usually dry and hot from May to September peaking up to 37 degrees, cooling again towards Autumn back down to 25-15 degrees.
What about paying for energy and water supplies if my main Hjem is not in Turkey?
The easiest way to pay for your electricity is by direct debits via a bank in Turkey, which we help you in advance by obtaining a tax number and setting up a bank account on your name. All water bills however, are paid directly to Town Hall.
