The cheapest city to live in Turkey

There are people who love to live in Turkey, but hear about the cost of living in major cities like Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya, and others, so they ask about a suitable city for living in terms of population density and affordable prices. This is what we will try to cover in this article.

What are the cheapest cities to live in Turkey in general?

Turkey is generally considered a country suitable for people with a middle income, as life there is cheaper compared to living in Europe or America. The government tries to provide the necessities of life for people, such as infrastructure, social services, food, and medicine at acceptable prices. However, global inflation has generally affected the lives of families and individuals in Turkey, especially in major cities like Istanbul and Ankara, or tourist cities like Antalya and Trabzon.

We can say that life in less crowded provinces is more suitable and cheaper regarding housing, services, food prices, and other goods. Among these provinces are: Kocaeli, Bursa, Sakarya, Yalova, Mardin, and others.
