Well it is cheaper than İstanbul.

The cost depends on what you consume but you can easily live with small amounts of money.

Try to be at the city center, Murat paşa is the name of the district. Lara neighbourhood is rather expensive but nice, and Konyaaltı is close to the sea.

Also in Lara district there are nice places by the sea side.

What advice would you give future students heading to Antalya?

They will find it welcoming and beautiful. Weather is amazing, we don't have snow in the city but the mountains are so close you can swim at the shore and in 45 minutes you can ski up at Saklıkent.

This city will make you love herself.
