Istanbul
Turkey
Spent 4 months in Istanbul. Lovely city. Lots of things to do, cafes to work from, historical sites and nice parks. Might be chaotic at times but its part of its charm. Pros: Everything is really cheap from food, groceries, clothes, etc. The only unusually pricey thing is alcohol. Rent prices are skyrocketing too I found Turkish people to be really nice. Some of them went out the extra mile to help me out with mundane things. The tea culture and community feeling of every street is awesome too

Antalya
Turkey
Generally favorable on Antalya, but not perfect. The weather was excellent (~26 C almost every day) and the nature of the city is absolutely stunning. The mountains on the west side of the city seem to just explode out of the ocean and it's special to see. That said, the built environment is pretty uninspiring. The center of the city is full of interesting restaurants and shops, but outside of the old town it's not very exciting to look at. My primary complaint, however, is on public transit. It

Izmir
Turkey
I loved, loved, loved Izmir! It's an excellent place for student exchange programs. Five months was enough for me, though. People are friendly, helpful, and always highly optimistic. PROS: People -> amazing!, Food (a great place for vegans), Nature, Prices, CONS: Pavements (or lack of pavements), Smoking (people smoke everywhere), Bureaucracy (If you don't speak Turkish, forget about running errands in local municipalities), Language barrier (Not many people speak English well), Politics (If

Alanya
Turkey
An interesting place which has a decent Russian-speaking community from post-Soviet republics. Pros: - quite affordable - proximity to the sea/beach (plenty of condos 2-4 mins walking distance) - Fiber Internet (50mbps is easy to get) Cons: - limited food options (Turkish cuisine) - really slow at times (might be a pro for some) - no coworking spaces

Bodrum
Turkey
Bodrum is an overpriced (central) but quite beautiful (surrounding villages/quays) place, mainly made up of the retirement residences of educated rather educated, secular population. There are amazing quays in driving distance that wouldn't be any different than beautiful coasts of Bali or Thailand.

Gaziantep
Turkey
It's a beautiful small city with nice parks. The population is somewhat used to foreigners since there are many humanitarian agencies with offices in the city. Nevertheless, basically no one speaks English. There is a large mall with several options to eat and work. I've spent days in local cafes without issue although cafe owners were clearly surprised by this behaviour. Regarding activities, they are constrained to the touristic, such as museums, and hamams (saunas). I've heard that ther
