InterNations - A Place for Germans in Istanbul

Grüß Gott to all Germans in Istanbul! Would you like to meet fellow German expats in Istanbul? Would you like to get insider suggestions from other Germans, e.g. where in Istanbul your hometown team’s next match is shown on TV or where to get roast pork with Knödel?

Why German expats move abroad (& how they like it)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our German members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.
