[quote=Anonymous]Turkish-American here. The economy is in shambles. Inflation is out of control and the lira is very weak. Double income, university educated families (think two engineers) are often priced out simple things, especially if they didn’t purchase homes or vehicles before the pandemic and have high basic expenses. Then there is the fact that Turkey has some of the highest rates of jobs paying minimum wage. This includes skilled jobs such as nursing. So the problems get worse as you move down social strata. Having said all of that, it doesn’t really impact tourism or safety (not saying it won’t deteriorate further, but not there yet). In fact, it makes it a great bang for your buck. Just use your common sense/city sense. I would also recommend getting out of Istanbul to visit a smaller beach town. [/quote]
