Retire in Turkey — sunshine, healthcare and a gentler cost of living

Turkey has become one of Europe's favourite places to grow older well: 300 days of sun, modern English-friendly hospitals and a cost of living far below home. GrandyGo brings it all together in one supported-living community on the Antalya coast, from £995 a month.

Why Turkey

Six reasons Europeans retire here

☀️

Climate

300+ days of sun a year on the southern coast — warm, dry summers and mild winters that mean more time outdoors and brighter days all year.

🏥

Healthcare

Internationally accredited private hospitals and many English-speaking doctors, especially around Antalya — modern care, close by and affordable.

💷

Cost of living

Housing, food and everyday life cost a fraction of the UK and Northern Europe — which is how all-inclusive supported living here starts at £995 a month.

✈️

Easy to reach

Direct flights connect Turkey's coast with the UK and much of Europe, so family visits and trips home are simple and inexpensive.

🌊

Lifestyle

Seafront walks, markets, long lunches, music and a genuinely sociable culture — ordinary life here feels like a holiday.

🤝

Welcoming

Turkey is used to welcoming visitors and residents from across Europe, with warm hospitality and established international communities.

The best part of the coast

Antalya & Kemer — where GrandyGo is

If Turkey is the country, the Antalya coast is the place — and Kemer is its calmest corner, green and quiet between the Taurus mountains and the sea, half an hour from an international airport. It is safe, easy to get around and used to welcoming people from across Europe.

Your questions, answered

Retiring in Turkey — FAQs

Is Turkey a good place to retire?
For many Europeans, yes — a warm climate, modern and affordable healthcare, a low cost of living, direct flights home and a famously welcoming culture. The southern coast around Antalya is especially popular.
Where in Turkey is best for retirement?
The Antalya coast is the favourite for its sunshine, healthcare and calm seaside towns. GrandyGo is in Kemer, a green, quiet town half an hour from Antalya's international airport.
Can I retire to Turkey from the UK?
Yes. Most people begin on a standard tourist entry, then apply for a longer-stay residence permit. At GrandyGo we guide you through the paperwork, and your UK pension is unaffected.
How much does it cost to retire in Turkey?
Far less than the UK. At GrandyGo, an all-inclusive supported-living stay — apartment, meals, nursing, activities and transfers — starts at £995 for four weeks.
