The person behind Move to Antalya

Know who you will speak with before you make decisions about your move.

Kağan Çetinbaş of Move to Antalya
Living in Antalya since 2010

Kağan Çetinbaş

Born in Istanbul, Kağan moved to Antalya in 2010 and graduated from Akdeniz University's Faculty of Communication in 2014.

He chose to make Antalya his home. Through Move to Antalya, he helps English-speaking newcomers with the practical arrangements involved in moving here.

What you can expect

  • Direct communication. Explain your plans and practical questions to Kağan in English.
  • A defined scope. Discuss which arrangements can be coordinated before work begins.
  • Honest limits. Official bodies and service providers make their own decisions.

Legal drafting, legal review and legal advice require a qualified lawyer. Application outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Kağan's local perspective

Look beyond the postcard.

Kağan has lived in Antalya since 2010. These practical questions can help you plan for life here, beyond your first visit.

01 / WHERE YOU LIVE

Match the area to your routine

When comparing Konyaaltı, Muratpaşa or Kepez, think about the places you will visit regularly. An address that looks appealing on a map still needs to work for your daily life.

02 / HOW YOU TRAVEL

Test the journeys that matter

Consider travel to work, school and appointments before choosing a home. Check current transport connections for the routes you expect to use.

03 / HOW YOU SETTLE IN

Plan beyond the keys

Moving into a property may also mean arranging utilities, internet, insurance and bank visits. Keep a list of what is done and what still needs attention.

These are planning considerations, not a ranking of Antalya's districts. Tell us what matters in your own routine.

Yes. Share your plans and expected arrival so we can discuss which practical matters may be useful to address first.

What should I include in my first message?

Tell us where you are now, when you plan to arrive and which arrangements you need help with. A brief message is enough to start.
