Expatriates always long for a place which offers culture, good lifestyle and a favourable climate. He also predicted that Antalya will be the main hotspot for older expatriates within the next couple of years.
Recently a poll carried out by Dokuz Eylul University (DEU) of expatriates living in Antalya to check what made them to live there full-time revealed that they are most attracted by the warm climate of the country.

Retirees from the Scandinavian country are choosing to spend their retirement years overseas and recent migration traffic to Turkey shows its popularity among Swedes who were hoping to relocate permanently.
