Retire in Antalya — sunshine, healthcare and a gentler cost of living
Turkey's Antalya coast has become one of Europe's favourite places to grow older well: 300 days of sun a year, modern English-friendly hospitals and a cost of living far below the UK. GrandyGo brings it all together in one supported-living community in Kemer, from £995 a month.
Why Antalya and Kemer suit later life
Kemer is a calm, green seaside town between the Taurus mountains and the Mediterranean, half an hour from Antalya's international airport. It is quieter than the big resorts, easy to get around, and used to welcoming visitors from across Europe — a safe, familiar place to settle.
A kinder climate
Warm, dry summers and mild winters mean more time outdoors, better mobility and brighter moods all year round — the opposite of a long British winter indoors.
Modern healthcare
Antalya has internationally accredited hospitals and many English-speaking doctors. Routine and emergency care are close by, and GrandyGo accompanies you to every appointment.
Lower cost of living
Housing, food and everyday life cost a fraction of the UK. That is how all-inclusive supported living here can start at £995 a month instead of £5,000.
Easy to reach
Direct flights connect Antalya with London and much of Northern Europe, so family visits — and your own trips home — are simple and affordable.
Life by the sea
Seafront walks, boat trips, markets and long lunches are part of ordinary life here, not a once-a-year holiday.
A ready-made community
You arrive to friends, routine and a team who speak your language — never starting from scratch alone in a new country.
Retiring in Antalya, the easy way
Moving country in later life sounds daunting, but you don't do it alone. Most guests begin on a standard tourist entry and try a month first. If you decide to stay, we guide you through a longer-stay residence permit and handle the paperwork with you — alongside flights, transfers and anything your family needs to feel reassured.
Your UK pension is unaffected, your apartment is yours, and you can split the year between Kemer and home however you like.
