Turkey: the ‘perfect antidote' for brits?

Brits fed up with ‘lacklustre' life in the UK are increasingly escaping to Turkey, it has been claimed.

According to property specialists Spot Blue, Turkey is 'almost the perfect antidote to all that is lacklustre and wrong with life in Britain'. 

The company could have a point; Along the Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines of Turkey the nation enjoys a fabulous climate, with newly arrived Britons commenting on the positive effect that waking up to blue skies every day has on the psyche. 

The cost of living in Turkey is a fraction of that in the UK - everything from property costs to grocery costs, from the price of clothes to the price of cosmetics is cheaper in Turkey - and cheaper by far. 

What's more, the pace of life is slower, the people are more friendly, open, relaxed and welcoming and those who move from the UK to live in Turkey are finding that their new life is everything that they could have dreamed of and more.

A spokesperson for Spot Blue explained: "Many expats who are now living in Turkey benefit from the fact that the country is becoming better served nation-wide by low cost airlines, which means that getting to and from Turkey is now quick, cost effective and easy. 

"This allows Brits to easily keep in touch with friends and family back home and it also means that those living in their villas and apartments looking over the Med can expect to receive plenty of visitors from the rainy UK!

"The nation's real estate industry is also thriving, meaning that those who buy a home in Turkey are buying an investment, and in the short, medium and long-term, Turkey appears to be a far more stable and positive bet than Great Britain as it emerges to fulfil its true economic potential".
