Hi I am looking to move with my 3 children 8-16yrs old to Turkey.  Wanted a location close to English Speaking University and schools.  Location must have reasonable accomodation costs (will prob rent for a year or 2) but also cheap for foods.  Location should be more traditional Quiet Turkish.. Islamic... family based rather than boosy busy club bikini areas.... but also be near water/ activities for the kids....
Any info would help.....

Hello ma'am myself ahmet İdris
I saw your problem a d i would like to help
I have a location in my mind at the Istanbul province of Turkey
The place is near sea of west side Istanbul marina and it has quit alot of small towns and it's atleast 30 minutes far from the shopping malls by walking in car it could be 5 to 10 minutes
The place is good people are fine and friendly and it has some places to buy the needs of a house
The schools are nearby and some school girls and boys are separated but the government will select where the school could be and you can choose schools but the government still do their work
And having children in private are good choice cause if they're in one class they could be together
Message for further information

Thanks I have been to Istanbul 3 times and love the history it but for my retirement dont want to go to a busy city again after living in London my whole life

Well a modern clean location but also a conservative religious town with traditional family values, instead of an Ibiza......

A family member moved to Antalya which would probably be ideal but have been told that the flood of foreign beach tourists may not be to my family life... So want to avoid heavy tourist locations.  Also dont like very hot locations if i can avoid them.

I think your kids would like to live ankara or some places that aren't too much crowded cause Istanbul right now is one 25 million population and and ankara although is kind of too much big and has 6 million population but still it's kind of lonely in there for some foreigners to live but still excited and house nearby traditional turkaih culture is very expensive and the government has declared to not destroy any or renovate and if you would like to rent one in places luke that it would be very costly that's why i recommend the place which is nearby sea and it is quite and not too much crowded please message for further chat

do you know what was destructive?
this one: Location should be more traditional Quiet Turkish.. Islamic... family based rather than boosy busy club bikini areas....
and this one: conservative religious town with traditional family values

"Location should be more traditional Quiet Turkish.. Islamic."
In such places there are NO English speaking schools and definitely NO university.. In those place you will only find Turkish speaking schools and people. The only places where you Might find English schools (there are not many of those here) is the Boozy club bikini areas like Antalya which is also one of the hottest places to live in. You will not find all the things you want in one place so i suggest you decide which are the most important to you and change your request.
