Hello Sir

Turkey is very beautiful country and Istanbul is world famous for its beauty and night life.
For Indians its nice city as Turkish people really respect India and friendly with all foreigners.
As in every other city of the world there are areas in Istanbul also where u have to take extra precaution before going otherwise its very safe city
Average cost of living depends on the area where you will live as rent are expensive in main city
Medical facility will be easy for you as it is mostly covered by the health insurance and many private and govt. hospital accept it.
Cost of education is expensive as compare to india. And if you are worried about language then you can send her to some international school.
NO Hindi tv channels here( i couldnt able to find) but with nice internet you can watch everything in internet nowdays.
language can be issue as most people talk in turkish only. But its always wise to learn to language of the country as fast as possible.
i heard of only one Indian rest. till yet in istanbul ,its name is SWAD and i think its in taksim.

Regards
Rohit

Hi Rohit
Thank you very much for the information.
are you from which city in India?
Where are you staying in Istanbul and how long?
we can meet up when I will be there.
how much I have to spend on food if I cook at home?
For Transport how much I have to spend/month?
any suggestion will help
Thank you once again.

Hi,

I am just 2 months in Istanbul . But what I say is that yes language is an issue. You will find less people speaking in English . But if you go to Carefour there would be someone who speaks english.

Coming to Hindi channels I have not found so far . If I find will keep you posted.

So far I have not come in any contact with fellow Indians in Istanbul.

Regards,
Shyam
