Alanya Cost of Living Calculator

Why Alanya is cheaper than Antalya central

Alanya is the second-largest German-speaking expat market on Türkiye's Mediterranean coast (after Antalya proper) and a growing Russian community. Lower cost than Antalya central, more relaxed pace, strong year-round expat presence in Mahmutlar.

The calculator above produces a full breakdown — switching between budget alanya, central alanya, premium beach belt, and adjusting lifestyle level, is the fastest way to see how much your district choice drives the total.

Alanya monthly budgets — Mahmutlar, Oba and the coast

As a planning ballpark for foreigners on a comfortable lifestyle:

• Single: ~$1,000–$1,600 / month
• Couple: ~$1,500–$2,400 / month
• Family of four: ~$3,000–$5,500 / month

These are wide bands on purpose — district choice, schooling choice and lifestyle level move the actual number significantly within each band.

Mahmutlar and the German + Russian belt

Most foreigners cluster in a handful of well-known districts, broken roughly into three tiers:

Mediterranean coast · second-largest German community · large Russian + Scandinavian presence · year-round Mahmutlar · car helpful.

Getting around Alanya

Alanya is car-friendlier than central Antalya — minibuses cover the coastal road but most foreigners outside Mahmutlar centre find a car useful within months.
