We run a blog called Retire Turkey that covers lifestyle, property, culture, language and cuisine for vacationers and expats in Turkey. Our aim is to open up the region to as many people as possible and engage current visitors in the country's culture. Retire Turkey is an affiliate of Milan Estate Agents, a family-run, internationally-connected real estate agency locally based in Didim, Turkey. The owner, Onur Arık, is from Ankara and previously lived in Turnhout (Belgium) before escaping the rain and setting up his business on the sunsoaked Turkish coast. He originally studied Finance at Dokuz Eylül University in Izmir, and speaks Turkish, English and conversational Dutch. In addition to his real estate practice, he is currently studying property law in order to better help his international customers.
I joined expat.com on 01 July 2015.

The sun, the sand, the laid-back lifestyle, the proximity to both big cities and rural escapes, ancient and modern culture.
