Food is relatively cheap. Rents start from 500 TRY. Booze, booze is expensive compared to Europe in Turkey.

Yes, we can say that food is cheap and also there are lots of local cheap supermarket chains (BIM-A101-SOK) like tesco or carrefour. You can discover street bazaars, they are extremely cheap for buying food like you can buy 1 kilos of apple for 4 TRY from local farmers. I think that your monthly cost will be approximately 1000-1500 turkish liras including rental and your other expenses. But keep in mind that if you are searching for average european person's life standarts (night life etc.) your montly expenses can rise up to 2000- 3000 liras. Eventually it is up to you :)

I guess u can make it pretty well for 1500TL (500EUR) per month. check sahibinden.com for rentals with or w/o furniture. i narrowed down the search criteria for u: https://www.sahibinden.com/kiralik?sorting=price_asc&address_town=83&address_town=85&address_city=7
spare another 500TL for more entertainment out. good luck :)

it is not a comfortable to rent by yourself. there will be some deposit and commission . but if you live with someone else and share the rent everything would be much easier. first of all rents are not 500tl. it is more. it starts from 700 tl. ( 180€) Food is expensive if you eat outside. if you cook at home you can save a lots of money. 1 kg chicken is about 3 euro on markets but if you go to mcdonalds for a chicken sandwich menu you are going to pay about 4€ which is one sandwich one small cips and a coke. Transport is 2 lira (0,55 cent) for one bus trip. From airport to city center by taxi costs about 20 € .

There is everyday on every different location bazaar in Turkey. That means you can reach fresh vegetables , fruits and fish anytime with a normal price . 1 kilogram apple is 1 € , 1 kilogram salmon fish (3 big pieces) 10 € , 1 kilogram potatos is 1 € . Foods are not expensive if you know where to buy when to buy.

Alchol is extremely expensive if we compare to other countries escipally to russia. one beer is 1.5 euro on markets. if you go any pub or bar you will pay about 4 euro for each big glass beer. i even do not tell about others.

Lets talk about bills. 20 megabit quite fast internet price is 15 €per month includes tv channels. mostly turkish channels for sure. montly water bill is about 8 € . the electric bill is you dont wanna know on summer . when the degree is shows 45 you will need to turn on all air conditions. i let it your imagination how much does it cost electric bill.

Clothes are not expensive in many shops without some special ones. There are couple of famous shops like lc wakiki , cotton and some others has very big discounts for dresses , shirts and etc..

if you have another spesific question i would like to answer. good luck.
