I am hopefully going to be moving to Turkey in the near futurewith my 17 year old son , I will probably be staying in Marmaris and I am wondering if it will be easy to get tourism work there or some kind of work ?  any help u can give would be gratefully appreciated .

@ Christine,

In Turkey mostly you can find anything from this -

sahibinden.com

But i would suggest you to study the area first where you want to live. Also you can go to some property agent in that area. generally they charge  commission from 15 days rent to 1 month. Again depends on bargaining & how good you are at bargaining.

If you looks from websites & source is direct landlord than of course you don't end up paying commission. But always ask them to show you the property registry papers which in Turkish called (Tapu)Must go & check the place. Make sure you pay by bank to landlords bank account. No matter what.

Again depends what accommodation you are looking for 1+1, 2+1,3+1 where as
1+ option can cost from 500 to 800 Lira's
2+ option can cost from 700 to 1,000 Lira's
3+ option can cost from 800 to 1,200 Lira's

Again it depends in what area, if it's sea facing i am sure the rent will start from 2,000 Lira's. But this the the general pattern or you can say an approx idea to get.

1 Usd = 1.80 Lira
1 Euro = 2.45 Lira, Again approx

I hope this helps.
