Cost of living

[Johnb777]

Good evening all.
Myself and my wife are planning on moving to Girne in the future. I wanted to get an idea of the cost of living. Assuming I purchase a 3 bed villa what is the average cost of living per month? I’m trying to get a handle on finances.

Ideally we eat out 3 times a week. Drive a car and generally eat local meat and veggies etc.

Any rough numbers would be appreciated

All the best

I think you should be fine with $2K a month depending on car rental deal you get - i paid 600GBP for one month recently, it is a high season now.

My electricity bill for June was 750TL, for water i paid 400TL and got 98 tons a few weeks back. For July electricity bill will be higher because of heavy A/C use, it is hot now.

I live with my roommate, I spent $1500 a month.

I would say you will live very comfortably on £2000 a month.

Wow Judyvin. You have very rich tastes you spend over 66,000 TL every month?.

not expensive tastes, unfortunately, prices have sky rocketed, can't see it being too easy for Brits just living on a pension, it definitely is getting harder, sorry but thats how it is

From personal experience, I'd say $1800 to be comfortable.
