The cost of living in Antalya — a gentler budget for later life

One of the quiet joys of later life on the Antalya coast is how much further your money goes. Housing, food, everyday life and healthcare all cost far less than at home. Here's the honest picture — and how GrandyGo turns it into one simple, predictable monthly figure.

Where the savings are

What costs less on the coast

Housing

Renting or owning a home on the Antalya coast costs a fraction of the UK and Northern Europe — one of the biggest savings of all.

Food and eating out

Fresh local produce is inexpensive, and a meal out that would feel like a treat at home is an everyday pleasure here.

Everyday life

Transport, utilities, leisure and help around the home all cost noticeably less, so a modest pension stretches much further.

Healthcare

Private treatment and private health cover are far cheaper than at home, while the standard of care stays high.

We keep this page honest and free of fast-dating figures — local prices and exchange rates move. What stays steady is our all-inclusive fee.

One simple figure

From £995 a month, all in

Instead of budgeting separately for rent, food, bills, care and company, GrandyGo rolls it all into one predictable monthly figure in pounds — about a quarter of a typical UK care home. No surprises, no juggling, no winter heating shock.

Your questions, answered

Cost of living — FAQs

Is the cost of living in Antalya low?
Compared with the UK and Northern Europe, yes — markedly. Housing, food, everyday services and healthcare all cost substantially less on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, which is why many Europeans find a pension goes much further here.
How much do I need to retire in Antalya?
It depends on your lifestyle, but far less than at home. At GrandyGo, an all-inclusive supported-living stay — private apartment, three meals a day, 24/7 nursing, activities and transfers — starts at £995 a month, which removes most everyday budgeting worries.
Does the exchange rate affect costs?
Turkey's currency can move, which is part of why living costs are low for those earning or holding euros, pounds or dollars. GrandyGo prices its all-inclusive stay in pounds, so your core cost stays predictable.
What does the all-inclusive fee cover?
Your apartment, all meals, 24/7 on-site nursing, housekeeping and laundry, the full activity programme and airport transfers — so you aren't juggling separate bills for rent, food, care and bills.
