Receive Information and Tips about Turkey from Irish Expats

Obviously, expat life in Turkey is not only about packing boxes and getting some paperwork done. The regular exchange with Irish compatriots is also an important aspect of the expat experience to get accustomed to the Turkish culture and people. InterNations helps you to get to know and exchange with other Irish in Turkey, living in Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya and many other places across the country. Just visit our network of Irish in Ankara or Irish in Istanbul.

So, if you should ever feel like speaking your Irish mother tongue, finding out where to shop for Irish food or chatting about Kerry G.A.A.'s latest match, join the Turkish InterNations Community:

  • Browse our high-quality expat network to find like-minded expatriates from Ireland or English-speaking expats in Turkey.
  • Receive and share advice in our Turkey Expat Forums – e.g. how to find a English-speaking nanny for your kids or where to shop for Irish-style white and black pudding in Istanbul.
  • Browse the InterNations Expat Guide for Turkey to find institutions like the local St Patrick's Society or the nearest Irish embassy.

From Aegean Turkey, between the azure sea and silvery olive groves, to the Bosporus, we’ll get you in touch with helpful and friendly Irish expats in Turkey.
