What I can't live without in Turkey anymore?
Of course, it's the sun.
It fills every day of my life here with light and happiness, just like the lives of other people.
Especially when you're in a bad mood or feeling bothered by something, you just step out into the sun, and everything not only dissipates on its own, but life itself becomes brighter and more joyful again.
And thank God - there are plenty of sunny days in Turkey.
The sea.
It permeates everything around with its scent and sea breeze. Even if we don't swim in it often, its presence is more than enough! Simply walking by the sea in the morning or evening, breathing in its scent, admiring the waves, or just standing under the splashes of the waves - it makes you happier and stronger.
The people.
They are special in Turkey. Always open and ready to help, smiling and friendly, welcoming to foreigners and guests. Not arrogant or proud. I have learned a lot from them and continue to learn.
Good food and products.
I have been in Turkey for 18 years, and honestly, I have almost forgotten what products we have back home. But I remember very well the taste of Moscow tomatoes from the store when I would visit exhibitions there. After that, Turkish products and food seem simply divine. Natural, fresh, and affordable products, and very delicious food - another plus of this wonderful country!
Mountains and nature.
If you live in Antalya, then within 20-30 minutes by car, you can be in the most secluded and beautiful places in the region, surrounded by mountains and green pine forests. Kemer, Cirali, Phaselis, Olympos, Adrasan, Geikbayir, Koprulu Canyon - the list can go on almost endlessly...
Safety of life and business in Turkey.
Robbery or theft? Police or government officials running amok, seizing businesses? Fear for your wife or children and their development - sorry, but that's not about Turkey! You simply feel relaxed and comfortable here all the time, and the state of full mobilization is stored somewhere far away on dusty shelves.
There are many other things - these were the most important ones without which I can no longer live in Turkey.
If these things are important to you too - come and see for yourself, believe me - you will like it.
