Teaching English in Turkey is really the best way to immerse yourself in this country’s fascinating culture and mesmerising sights. Istanbul, with all its mosques, palaces, churches and monuments is Turkey’s cultural and historical centre and only a taste of what the rest of the country has to offer.
Your teaching salary will usually be enough to pay for your living expenses and travel. If teaching in Istanbul, your teaching schedule should allow you to explore the city in between classes as these often take place in the mornings and evenings. Use the rest of your free time to embrace the culture at the historic sites of Ankara or the Roman ruins on the Mediterranean coast. And, when you're ready for a break from busy city life, you can relax on one of Turkey’s numerous stunning beach resorts.
