Hi guys,

I'm currently living in Istanbul and making a good salary (around 4000lira), I also have a free non-shared 1 bedroom flat. I can see that some of the better schools in Istanbul offer this kind of package, some even offer flight allowance etc. But as soon as you look outside of Istanbul at places like Izmir, Bodrum and Antalya the salary drops to around between 3300 - 3500 lira with no free apartment. As I am new to Turkey I'd like to know, is that a fair deal? Are those cities really that much cheaper than Istanbul to lose close to 1000 lira a month and a free flat.

Thanks in advance

No there is not that much difference, you will have to look long and hard to beat your current package, unless for some strange reason Istanbul does not rock your boat,stay there, I would!
