Tips and Advice on Turkey from Your Fellow Bulgarian Expats

Obviously, expat life in Turkey goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Bulgarians is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Turkish mentality and way of life. Bulgarians in Turkey are a part of our community, calling cities such as Ankara, Antalya, Istanbul, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Bulgarians in Istanbul, for example.

Wondering where to shop for Bulgarian delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Turkish InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from Bulgaria.
  • On the Turkey Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get sarma in Istanbul, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for Turkey has information on the nearest Bulgarian embassy and many other institutions.

From the Bosporus to Aegean Turkey, between the azure sea and silvery olive groves, you can meet supportive and friendly Bulgarian expats in Turkey on InterNations.

Meet and Mingle with Fellow Bulgarians in Turkey

Additionally, InterNations hosts regular expat events and activities in Turkey. Our get-togethers are sure to cater to your taste as well: as a member, you can partake in cozy gatherings to enjoy some Turkish köfte, join one of our huge expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Istanbul’s best locations, and much more. Want to discover Turkey? Go on a weekend trip with your fellow expats to see the heavily forested mountains near the Black Sea and other beautiful landmarks.

Our meet-ups and activities offer many wonderful opportunities to mingle with expatriates hailing from Bulgaria and dozens of other countries in a casual setting. Just sign up for your InterNations membership and you’ll soon hear a cordial Zdravejte from our Bulgarians living in Turkey!
