What is the magic of Antalya that attracts visitors from all over the world to visit and live?

The city also offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit all budgets, making it accessible for travelers of all types.
It is true that the cost of living in Turkey is generally lower than in some other countries, particularly in comparison to Western European countries and the United States. This can make it an attractive destination for people looking to retire or relocate, as it may be possible to live a comfortable lifestyle at a lower cost. However, it is important to keep in mind that the cost of living can vary significantly depending on the location within Turkey and the individual's lifestyle and financial situation.
