Expats in Istanbul

A meeting place of East and West, Istanbul straddles two continents – Europe and Asia, with the Bosphorus Strait in between. Formerly known as Constantinople, Istanbul today is home to 15 million people, surrounded by the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara.

Turkey’s economy has been strong for the past decade. Its strength and obliging aspects for many different industries and sectors naturally create a vast number of business opportunities in Istanbul. Even the global pandemic hasn’t put too much of a dent into it, with the next decade expecting a ‘bounce back’. For instance, the Turkish lira is doing better than any other global currency right now – having gained more than 6% against the dollar.

Tourism is a huge sector in Istanbul, but the city also has a strong manufacturing base. The majority of its major companies are in Petroleum, Steel, the motor trade and in the Domestic Appliances field. Textiles and exports are also doing well in Istanbul, especially in the Basın Ekspres area. On the whole, registering a business in Istanbul – and Turkey in general – is relatively quick and easy. It involves form filling but can be completed within a lunch hour, officials say. Whatever your intentions for business in the Turkish capital, either extended or short stay apartments in Istanbul can ensure your business stay is fulfilling.

Living in Istanbul

A vibrant, colourful and fascinating city with a melting pot of many different cultures, Istanbul is around 2500 years old. Its age and history are very much in evidence in its array of stunning mosques and palaces. There is the iconic Hagia Sofia with its gold mosaics and many towers, the Topkapi Palace, enchanting Blue Mosque, and the cavernous Basilica Cistern to name but a few. Visitors are impressed to find these ancient and beautiful buildings as much part of everyday life in this bustling walled city as the upmarket restaurants and designer stores.

Shopping in Istanbul is centred around the Grand Bazaar and the Tahtakale Shopping precinct. The former is the world’s largest bazaar, measuring 30,000 square metres and in the latter, you’ll find the wonderful Spice Bazaar. Most neighbourhoods in the city also have their own open-air weekend food markets.

A special delight of Istanbul is a relaxing spa and beauty treatment in the Mosque Hamam – or many of the other Hamams dotted around the city. Three particular neighbourhoods in Istanbul are well worth a visit. These are Balat, Karakoy and Kadıkoy. Balat is the old Jewish Quarter with plenty of colourful houses, cafes and restaurants.

Karaköy is a seaside area full of pop up stores and good bars at night. Kadıkoy is on the Asian side and is famous for its food market. The Kadıkoy-Moda waterside park provides excellent views of Istanbul and is perfect for a picnic. All in all, whether you are living in Istanbul as an expat or a tourist, Situ has serviced apartments in Istanbul near many of the wide-ranging attractions and sightseeing spots, meaning guests can see much of the city whenever they wish.
