People who want Mediterranean year-round sun with Turkish prices, Roman ruins at Aspendos and Perge within an hour, the Taurus Mountains as a backdrop, easy access to the Turquoise Coast and Cappadocia, and a growing digital nomad infrastructure.
Antalya is Turkey's fastest growing city and a genuine year-round destination rather than a seasonal resort. The old town — Kaleiçi — is Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman layered on top of each other inside intact walls. The rest of the city is rapidly modernising in ways that are impressive and occasionally chaotic. Political tensions with Western governments occasionally complicate expat life.
Living costs are genuinely affordable here — your money goes further than in most Western cities. Winter is essentially nonexistent — mild temperatures year-round. Sunshine is abundant — nearly year-round sun if that matters to your mood. There is genuine depth to explore beyond the obvious.
Binary signals — not scores.

The old harbour at Kaleiçi at sunset is one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean — small wooden boats, Roman walls, the bay below and the mountains above. The local pazar markets in the outer neighbourhoods have prices that bear no relation to the tourist areas.
These are the numbers. But numbers don't move to a new city — you do.
