I am still dealing with this bad situation. I sent back the phone to the seller who is now refusing to refund me. Who can I contact for help? Read More

@kzein Yes, that's correct. At the end of the 12 months the IMEI numbers get unblocked. Read More

So, since living in Antalya my family and I have been attacked by dogs few times. I am a runner and as I am out for my run I often meet dogs in the streets. Sometimes, packs of dogs have attacked without biting me or my family but lately, ...
@Gino_C I would be grateful if you could share the one you have purchased. Mine it's from Hepsiburada and it is called Sonik. This one ... Read More

@kzein I don't believe so. My old phone from the UK isn't working anymore. And right now I cannot afford a new one. I am not totally sure why they do this. Could it be down to the fact that they want you to buy Turkish made products? Read More

@Gino_C Thank you for your suggestion. That's the gadget I bought when I arrived in Antalya but unfortunately it doesn't always work. For whatever reason it's not as effective. It works on cats! Hardly on dogs. Read More

Sending and receiving packages in Turkey by Priscilla
Hello, As an expat, there are inevitably certain items you might want or need from back home, and around the holiday period, many people like to send gift packages. How easy is it to send and receive packages in Turkey? Is the public postal ...
@cdw057That's your personal experience. Where I live the internet is extremely slow, the services are almost non existent, the place is extremely dirty and Antalya is very expensive. We purchase 3 kitchen blender since we arrived because the quality ... Read More

@conniewhelan I am not sure about the way they operate. The main issue in Turkiye, I feel, it is the lack of quality assurance. There isn't any! No checks at all. Everything it is done ' just because'.....I don't know if you understand what I mean. ... Read More

Hello, my experience is really bad when it comes to ordering things from the UK. We have made few orders and we haven't received any of the items. They disappeared in thin air. Fortunately, we received the refund and were told the items 'got lost' ... Read More
Cost of living in Alanya by cdw057
OK there are many complaints recently (electricity/water), also restaurants. But for me personally (cigarettes and alcohol) not too much impact. For expats even a 400% increase in price of tap water (who cares)?, it is used to clean the side walks, ...
@cdw057Prices keep on hiking and it is becoming difficult for everyone. To be fair, I feel the life in Turkiye is more expensive than in the UK. The cost of things may be relatively cheaper in Turkiye but the quality is not that good and then you ... Read More

Not just in Alanya, but everywhere else. In Antalya we have seen a sharp rise in restaurant bills, cost of food from the local grocery store, even down to the vegetables and fruits market. The prices are going higher and higher....This year, in ... Read More
Food in Turkey (Alanya/Mahmutlar) by cdw057
Turkish people know to cook, no doubt about it.On restaurants:Even the simplest meatballs are often prepared to perfection. What I like are the starters (bread with delicious sauces). Most of the main dishes can also be ordered in Western Europe, ...
We live in Antalya and never eat out where we live, Lara, as it is way too expensive for what they offer. Few days ago we visited Koniyaalti and ate at the restaurant. Main meal, drinks and one slice of cake for 2 adults and a child was 80 GBP. We ... Read More
