Thinking of moving to Turkey? Not
sure where to live? Don’t understand
the system for buying a house? Not
clear about how to obtain legal
residency?
You need A Handbook for
Living in Turkey, by
Pat Yale.
The renowned Lonely Planet
guidebook author writes
from personal experience: in 1999
she bought a badly ruined house
in Göreme,
Cappadocia,
hired artisans to restore and decorate
it,
and now lives in Turkey ("with far
too many cats," she says).
She's done it all, and writes
from personal
experience
with
a guide-author's
talent for explaining everything clearly and in detail.

My former co-author, colleague and
friend
Pat Yale has been visiting Turkey on
and off since 1974.
For more than 10 years she worked on
a range of Lonely Planet guides to
Turkey which gave her the opportunity
to travel all around the country many
times.
She has also written innumerable
articles about the country for British
newspapers and magazines.
