In love with Turkey (Turkey)

I moved to Turkey eleven years ago, have now a Turkish husband, and live in a Turkish mountain village where nobody speaks English. When I arrived, I had no Turkish at all, however, now I'm reasonably fluent.We have a small restored farmhouse with three rooms in the mountains which we operate as a pension, doing bed and breakfast and evening meals. And I love it!

Hi Pauline, my mum and dad also moved to Turkey near Bodrum. There is a large British community in the Bodrum-Marmaris-Altinkum area and my mum and dad go to a Turkish language class run by the local council. They are loving it there ... the food, music, lifestyle, sun, people ... all great :)
