Was there May 2023 for a month. Nice city, great expat group held by Piero/Davide/Angelo. If you are looking for meeting people I really advise to get in touch with them - you can find on FB. Dolce vita with extremely cheap food in restaurants (excellent pizza for less than 5 euros). I found the city very typical and beautiful, the weather was great too. 3 drawbacks in my opinion: - no night club (at this period at least) / big party - only bars. - no beach very close to the city center (closest

Rents can be decent and offer a lot more compared to Western Countries, spend $1,600 on a Studio for 3 weeks, much better than many developed Western Countries. WiFI speeds are consistent and reliable. Nightlife is amazing but easily the biggest money pit as many places even a bottle of beer goes up to 20 USD. Not a bad place to use as a staging ground to explore the region or take advantage of the well connected airport. Very multi cultural place as well. Just wish the food offer
