Indicative only — a static baseline, not a live market feed. Split assumes a one-bed rental and cooking most meals at home; adjust for your own habits.
No filler
Connectivity
Fibre in most flats, ~50 Mbps typical
Fibre-to-the-home is common in central Alanya, and speeds around 50Mbps are easy to find in residential blocks. Cafés vary a lot — test before you commit to working from one for a full day.
Coworking
There isn't a dedicated scene here yet
Unlike Antalya, Alanya doesn't really have formal coworking spaces. Most remote workers use sea-view cafés or work from home on fibre. That's a real trade-off — factor it in before you commit.
Residency
Ikamet is the route
Türkiye's short-term residence permit is the standard path for staying beyond the visa-free window. Get current, official guidance before applying — requirements shift.
Pace
Slower, deliberately
Shops shut for the afternoon heat, tea gardens replace the coffee-shop rush. If you need a fast-paced hub, this isn't it — and that's the point for most who come.
Climate
300+ sun days a year
Long hot summers, short mild winters. Plan indoor working hours around the midday heat between June and September.
