@@mami9623 why?
Thank you Olga, good work, I'm watching from Sydney Australia. Hoping to come to see Antalya and Alanya next year. Keep up the great work.. You and your husband take care.
Thank you!
alanya small and expinsive. antalya better👍
I love Tavuk Dünyasi!
Greetings Olga & Renee , great and informative presentation and very helpful advice ! Looks like a nice place to be living and still the prices are much lower than here in the USA . Stay happy & healthy and thank you for the information .
Thank you!
I love Antalya! I go there every year and end up staying longer each time. I just came back from spending a couple of months there. Your tour is the most informative and accurate content I have come across to date. GREAT WORK! 👍
Thank you, that was really interesting ♥ I just got back from Antalya, and I watched all your videos before I traveled, they helped me a lot. Thanks again, and keep up the good work.
Hi Olga, good work I am looking your videos from Canada, Antalya it’s beautiful !!
Thanks Olga for a very informative video, you have explained and touched each and every topic from apartment rental, grocery shopping, beaches, food, SIM card etc everything a person who has never been there or with an intention to stay.
Always very enjoyable and extremely informative video. Thank you!
Awesome video, thanks Olga.
👏👏👏👏¡Muchas gracias por tu video! ¡Saludos desde Buenos Aires! 🇦🇷🇦🇷😘
Thank you Olga and Renee. I think you guys rock and reali great videos
Great Video, very informative! Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello from Dallas, Texas. Nice and informative information about Antalya. Thank you.
Danke für deine sehr informativen videos. Ein großes Lob 👍👍👍
Me and my husband planning to move to antalya ( from England ) after three months, ur videos are so helping us, next month we are coming for holiday to have a look around as well.
Thanks guys for ur videos
How is it going
How is it going
Fantastic! I’m there with my partner at the beginning of October. Some great advice. Thank you 🙏🏽
AMAZING...thank you.
Super video again!
Hi Olga and Rene. I am an avid follower of your videos in Turkey and I love them for the following two reasons. Firstly because of the excellent and colourful photography and secondly because of the most uptodate information about matters that are of interest to Tourists but most of all for those of us that are contemplating a move or retirement in Turkey. The contents from the majority of TH-cam producers by and large are somewhat similar,some are better than others and you come in this category. I would imagine that your aim to produce these videos is to showcase this city and all it has to offer ie Beauty,Weather,Beaches,Mountains,Food,Real Estate etc.etc… You continually do an amazing job,and we all thank you for that.
What would be of interest,and unfortunately lacking,are videos based on a visit,as an example,to a Dentist Surgery,a Doctor,a Hospital,a Government Department etc.
A lot of foreign people would normally ask questions like : Are the Dentists surgery clean? What about the Hospitals etc…these are very important issues that could sway people one way or another.
This is my personal issue and I’m sure that there are many others that would be in a similar situation which I would love to find out and that is: If you decide to retire in Turkey on your own and live by yourself and at some stage you can no longer look after yourself and need help on a permanent basis,who can provide this help and what are the current costs involved. This type of information is crucial prior to the decision to relocate. I know this request maybe a big ask and perhaps out of the idea of producing your videos, however,invaluable information regarding what and where to get help when this situation arises.
Looking forward reading your thoughts on my comments.
Hi Alex! Thank you for the kind words and for taking time to give good content ideas 👍 Unfortunately it’s not possible to film in some locations (like hospitals or government office, for example), even at shopping malls I do it discreetly so guards/shopping assistants don’t notice ☺️ But I will do a LIVE on TH-cam this Saturday where I will try to answer some of your and other subscribers questions, that I didn’t cover in my videos. If it goes well, I will do a Live Q&A more often.

@@OlgaProGoingPlaces
I do understand the difficulty that you may encounter to take permission to enter these premises and take videos.
What they don’t understand is the fact that by showcasing their premises it can actually have a positive result not just for their businesses,but a lot of others if one decides to move to that particular city.
Recently I watched a video produced by this American guy that showcased a Dental Clinic in Thailand that blew my mind of the cleanliness,the up to date equipment the expertise and the affordability that made me think that it’s a clinic where I should consider getting my teeth done if need be.
The respective authorities should be more aware of the ultimate gains to the city if people become confident that the various essential services are of high standards.
yep, I hope as my channel grows I will get invitations from hotels/clinics etc to film 😊
Thanks a lot ogla and Rene you guys are really awesome believe me when I saw your video i feel like i m moving along with you like i m touching all things myself like i m in antalya thanks sooooooo..... Much for such a lovely videos God bless you 💐💐💐💐💐
WOW congratulations 🤩
very interesting and informative video with lot of useful information thank you
Hello, Olga y Rene
Me encanta sus vídeos, muchas, Gracias
🎉👍 Hello,Olga and Rene, I love your videos is very interesting, San Juan, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Thank you so much for these informative videos! I have decided to try and retire in Antalya next year!! I will be re-watching all your videos again before I make my move. Consider creating a consolidated video, a sequential checklist of sorts, of what to consider and do before, during, and after moving to Turkey. Thx again, Doug
good luck with the move! and thanks for the ideas 😊
Outstanding Performance well done ❤
good presentation, nice work... thanks for sharing. enjoy
Amazing very unique and Beautiful city. amazing video good information. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Me Gustau mucho tus vídeos 😘🍀
Awesome ❤❤❤
Thanks again Olga for the honest and comprehensive insights and tour, very much appreciated. Do you have a sense for apartment availability now? I see some attractive apartments for what appears to be reasonable prices, but the seem to always be the same places so I'm wondering if they are just to get people to inquire.
Also, I was wondering how rental/property management companies and landlords might be to deal with, as in America now, most rental companies seem to be pretty brutal, greedy and often cruel or dishonest.
Cheers!
this weekend we plan to go Live on TH-cam. I will try to answer you questions 😊
@@OlgaProGoingPlaces Thanks again Olga. Looking forward to the stream, and if you can give a bit of a notice so I make sure to catch it would be appreciated.
Very informative video, you covered everything, I am also residence of Antalya (kepez).
Thank you😎
Oh the prices I was seeing in the video are much better than what we have in Batumi Georgia. So you are paying half the price for groceries there. In Batumi, minimum grocery cost per month per person is 250 euros. In Turkey, I used to pay only 100 euros per month for the same amount of groceries.
Yeah, because of Turkish Lira crisis it became cheaper than in Georgia. Plus a lot is produced domestically, which makes it even more affordable
Food was always cheaper in turkey, because of local production
Yes, Georgia has lots of water and soil, but due to communistic culture, the villagers immigrated to cities and stopped the production of food post soviet collapse
Thank you so much Olga So beautiful ♥️🥀
Hello Olga and Renee!
I find your videos both informative and high quality.
I have made the decision to move from California to Antalya in October. I am excited and a bit nervous! Your videos help with the anxiety and I look forward to more videos.
I am a 32 year old male and have lived in California my entire life. I have considered Bodrum, Alanya and Fethiye but I am a bit hesitant about living in those places year round. I have never been to Turkey and plan on renting for a year before I purchase a place. So far my research has indicated that Konyaalti is probably the best place for me. But I would love to hear any suggestions you might have. Obviously each place with have its pros and cons but I would like to find a place that resonates with me.
I will do a live Q&A this Saturday
Upd. Link to the Q&A th-cam.com/video/Jla2OaYgtoQ/w-d-xo.html
You cannot buy easily a house in Konyaaltı or Hurma anymore because restrictions has been imposed. Lara is like konyaaltı and you can find What you want in there too.
Hi Olga! Great video! Thank you! What is the name of the apartment rental agency you rented from ?
Thank you so much for this! We’re happy to live farther from the seaside. Curious what neighborhood would be best for families (I noticed the playgrounds!). We also hope not to need a car. Would love to learn what neighborhood you’d recommend?
Super Video thk
wow..
Nice video! ❤ But which Bazaar is the first Bazaar?
Last year, Turkcell SIM was 250 lira (depending on which shop you go to, it can be cheaper). Then some time later, it became 300 lira. And finally, a few months ago, it was 400 lira with poor explanation by impatient & rude sales guys about what's included. And seems that I have to pay extra to make overseas phone calls. I gave up going into a Turkcell shop to ask. 400 lira is a crazy price for a SIM card. And it lasts only 3 months? After that, we have to expensively register our foreign phones to continue using it. Since arriving, I never bought a SIM card, especially after reading so many negative reviews about how to top up etc...
İ love Turkey ❤️🇹🇷🇺🇦
Thank you, awesome video. Omg can't believe cherries 17TL/kg
Hello
My name is Gulbahor
I'm from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿
I like Turkiya 😍😍😍
I love it turkiya😘😘😘💄👗👛👠
I m hoping to come turkey in September and if you guys feel comfortable i will meet you💐💐💐💐
Just came back after a week in side … hoping to come back end of October when it’s a bit cooler
Hey Olga, thanks for the good information. I watched your rental videos. I supposed to land in Antalya mid August.
I’m pretty nervous about finding a place. I have a hotel booked for a week.
Do you think there is available house there at the moment that’s affordable? (500 Euros)
I’m looking to stay a min of 3 months and apply for the extension.
I will do a live Q&A this Saturday

Love you videos, very informative. Could you please provide me the link for the Apart Hotel. Thanks
Thanks! review th-cam.com/video/ayZd4Y6VtQs/w-d-xo.html, booking agoda.tp.st/F1Kdsi9b
@@OlgaProGoingPlaces Thanks
so Golden and Apart are the same hotel?
Yes
you deserve a like and I subscribed just now, thank you very much, just lower the intensity of the music in your next videos because it is distracting while you are talking, thanks again Olga thanks to your husband as well.
Nice haircut!
Another awesome video Olga👌,where is that local market located in Antalya please?
There ia a market like that in every neighbourhood once a week. If you will be renting an apartment it's best to ask your host where is the closest one, because Antalya is very big
Good idea 😉.Thank you!
Great content as usual. How is the library system there? Asking as I have kids who enjoying reading. Will English books be plentiful ?
Never been to a library here. But there are international schools and kindergartens, maybe they have books in English
I love your videos but can't leave a message that includes some questions I have. Please tell me why this is and what I can do to be able to! Thanks!
im obsessed with your videos ! have a nice day with your husband
Hi Olga, we will be there at the end of september, hoe will be the weather at that moment? Will it still be busy with tourists? Greetz from The Netherlands and hope to meet you and René
I am sure Olga will reply this question, but as a person living in Antalya for years I can say that best months to visit Antalya are September and October, it's not too hot, sea is still warm enough for swimming, and city is much less crowded than the summer season. I hope you enjoy your holiday.
Check out my video from Alanya in September, Antalya will be similar th-cam.com/video/rUochDyhoPY/w-d-xo.html
@serdar, thank you for your information about Antalya, and I hope also it will be a great time 🙏👍
@@OlgaProGoingPlaces thanks for your reply Olga 🙏
Hey, what is the cafe name at 6:05? Looks comfortable. Thanks!
Schiller
@@OlgaProGoingPlaces thanx

Hi Olga, please could you do a video on restaurants serving good vegan/vegetarian(no fish or eggs) food in Antalya. We will be there next month and would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!!
Hi Monika, I heard about this restaurant g.page/levelantalya, but never been there myself. At the big chain restaurants there are always at least some vegetarian options (I mentioned restaurants here th-cam.com/video/sZilz_S86fw/w-d-xo.html), but I can't say which restaurant is better.
Hey guys, thanks for such a detailed information provided🤲😊
Will you, please, evolve on the real estate prices topic in some of your next videos?.. Especially, the prices on long-term renting.
The thing is that we were planning to relocate to Antalya from the UK back at the end of 2021, but then the rent prices started going up just insanely, you know, and... here we have it: they are now indeed crazily high, at least if judging by Sahibinden website 😶 😞 i.e. 20,000-25,000 Turkish lira per month for a small 1-bedroom flat now is the average price tag for a long-term rent🤷♂️ I mean, seriously?..😶 From around 3-4,000 a year ago to 25,000?
That's roughly at least 1,000 pounds a month, and higher, which almost equals the rent prices of... London! 🤪
If you're aware of any relevant information on the above topic or have your own opinion/vision on that, i.e. will the prices continue skyrocketing or will they finally start going back down to normal, then, please please, share your thought on that in your next videos. Trust me, that's a very sensitive topic now for many Northern Europeans who once used to dream of relocating to such a beautiful place like Antalya 🙏😊
I will do a live Q&A this Saturday. Also check out this video th-cam.com/video/WOwu_Ph2ZB8/w-d-xo.html
Upd. Link to the Q&A th-cam.com/video/Jla2OaYgtoQ/w-d-xo.html
@@OlgaProGoingPlaces thank you Olga, much appreciated!🤲
Antalya is one of the hot spots right now. Rents may fluctuate.but if you want to own a flat there, it's always better to act earlier.
Is it easy using the Dolmus service in Side?. Do you have video or any advice regarding this?
Or using other public transport around Side area
we went there by car, so no info about buse
💙
Is there organic produce/food there? How much variety is there at the markets, grocery stores, and restaurants? If so, how much more expensive is it? I LOVE your videos - thank you so much! I would love to move there, to Antalya, but I'm not sure I have enough. I'm ok with an unfurnished studio or one bedroom that is without a swimming pool! I may want to consult with you about moving there. Do you have a consultation fee? Thanks again!! (I'm from California, my name is Katy, and my childhood - age 2 to 4, 1962-1966 - I lived in Germany!)
Unfortunately we don’t do consulting. But this weekend we plan to go Live on TH-cam. I will try to answer you questions 😊
Hi @OlgaProGoingPlaces can you please tell if end of March (last week) is rainy in Turkey? Love from INDIA
The weather in Turkey, like everywhere else in the world, is unpredictable. Is it rainy in India last week of March? :) I recommend checking the forecast before you go for a more accurate prediction. Have a great trip to Turkiye!
Hi Olga, when your Residence Permit was approved, did Immigration give you exactly a full year of residence? Or did they deduct a few days (so it's less than a year from the start of the residence permit)?
residency starts at the day of online application. I described the full experience here th-cam.com/video/BHp8fEocB3o/w-d-xo.html
I iam going antaliya January 16 to 27
From luton
I booked sava hotel
Your advice 😊
Great 👍
Hi i m planning to go to antalya in april. Is there a chance to sunbathing on the beach? Or still cold at that time?
th-cam.com/video/d2h6BlR-2qM/w-d-xo.html this is a video from April 2022
Hi Olga,
could you please give us updated information regarding the maximum cash that we could bring to Turkey in 2022 during TRY Crisis?
I searched and many articles gave different informations.
Some say maximum equally USD 5,000
and some say maximum only TRY 25,000.
Thanks before 🙏🏻
Hi, unfortunately I don't know about the official limits, never had to carry much cash. International bank cards are accepted everywhere, crypto exchanges are also all over Antalya
Check out a TH-cam video by a guy called Aladdin (property agent) on Straight Talk. He did one episode where he talks to a lawyer (?) who says there is no restriction on the amount of cash anyone brings into Turkey. You can bring in 1 million & nobody cares. The only restriction is from your departing country (how much you can bring out).
Limit is 9999 Euro.
Hi, do you maybe know where to buy affordable small suitcase in Alanya? I need one. Thanks you.🙂
try this mall th-cam.com/video/GCVZUK1EKq0/w-d-xo.html
We comming aug 6😊
Where can you book cheap excursions in Antalya pls...any suggestions where abouts in town?
You can try one of the tour agencies that are easy to find in all the touristy areas of Antalya
Hi there
Just wondering I you know the rental price of a 1+1 or 2+1 apartement with sea view long term, at least a year in Alanya center.
Info about rentals here th-cam.com/video/1IdqzPXgndI/w-d-xo.html
shop BIM super price❤👍
with your lifestyle you need $10 K a month. antalya is a very convenient yes, but u need a car to enjoy to the fullest, otherwise you will be stuck. very crowded place you choose. your video is fantastic, i can't take my eyes off.
even with traveling to other cities in Turkey once a month we have never spent more than 2-3k in a month. Also never felt we needed a car, renting was very easy and public transport is good. Also not crowded, I showed around the neighbourhood here th-cam.com/video/LyshAyuUNV4/w-d-xo.html
Do I have to buy a Sim card if I'm in a wifi free resort?
you don’t have to
Is it possible to pay in buses and trams in Antalya by a bank card? If one comes for let's say ten days, maybe there is no need to buy Antalya card?
should be possible, a bit more expensive
wery nice vidyo iam turkish canadian am soon retire am coming to antalya
❤️🙂🌹
👍🙂🙋👏
Can I send you a private message? I have questions about apartments in Antalya.
£15 for breakfast is not really cheap?!
For Turkey, it’s not cheap. Min wage here is lower than 500£.
Guys
👇 If u saw a cat in this vid (i did )
Our country is very beautiful for tourists, very expensive for Turkish people. :/
I hope things will get better for Turkish people soon.
