Istanbul, the vibrant and historical city located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has become an increasingly popular destination for digital nomads. With its rich culture, stunning architecture, and booming startup scene, Istanbul offers a unique and exciting experience for those looking to live and work remotely.

One of the key factors that draws digital nomads to Istanbul is its relatively low cost of living compared to other major European cities. While prices in Istanbul have been on the rise in recent years, it still remains an affordable option for those on a remote work budget.

In terms of housing, shared apartments in popular neighborhoods like Beyoglu, Kadikoy, and Besiktas can range from $300 to $600 per month, depending on the size and location of the apartment. Co-living spaces are also becoming increasingly popular in Istanbul, offering a more social and community-focused living experience for digital nomads.

Food and dining in Istanbul are also very affordable, with a meal at a local restaurant costing between $5 to $10. For those looking to cook at home, groceries are relatively inexpensive, with a week’s worth of groceries costing around $50 to $70.

Transportation in Istanbul is also relatively cheap, with a single ride on public transportation costing around $0.75. For those looking to explore the city on a budget, there are plenty of affordable options such as walking or biking around the city.

In terms of coworking spaces, Istanbul has a growing number of options for digital nomads looking for a place to work. These spaces offer a range of amenities such as high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and networking events, with prices ranging from $100 to $200 per month.

    Hey guys, Omw…bumped into your channel, and how I loved it. Immediately subscribed.
    I'm a 60yr old youngster from Cape Town South Africa, who still wanna try/do stuff even after a knee replacement. Therefore I started a YouTube channel, and still struggling getting it to grow…rather late hey! I gonna also research this digital nomad thing you're doing. Wanna try different hustle options, since I don't wanna stay a victim of this pandemic.
    Yor bio is very interesting on how you started your journey with £500. Wow! That's just over ZAR10K.
    You care to advise me on how you hustled? Wanna share with my son of 29(almost)?
