Comparison of cultural and social aspects of living
Turkey
Bulgaria
Unique cultural blends of East and West. However, in Turkey, laws
and traditions are often more conservative. It may take time to
get used to, especially for citizens oriented towards the European
way of life. You need to be prepared to overcome additional
barriers and differences in traditions. This may take more time
and effort to integrate into everyday life.
When buying real estate in Bulgaria, you invest not only in
square meters, but also in a clear European ecosystem. Here,
personal freedom, legal security and tolerance are valued.
Citizens of the EU and former CIS find it easier to adapt here due
to a similar lifestyle and hospitable population. Bulgaria
attracts long-term residence due to its ecologically clean areas
and measured pace of life.
Comparison of climate and natural conditions for life
Turkey
Bulgaria
Turkey's climate is hotter, so the classic beach season is longer
here. But the temperature here can be too high. The aridity of
some regions can limit the diversity of natural experiences,
reducing the opportunities for year-round active recreation.
The Black Sea coast of Bulgaria has a mild climate. The summer
months and half of autumn are suitable for a beach holiday. In the
off-season and winter, you can explore mountain trails, thermal
springs, and attractions.
Due to moderate humidity and picturesque relief, conditions remain
comfortable for an active lifestyle throughout the year.
Comparison of living conditions and travel around the country
Turkey
Bulgaria
Over time, you may be able to obtain a Turkish residence permit
by purchasing real estate. EU citizens may face visa restrictions
(local regulations and additional formalities must be taken into
account).
EU citizens can easily live and travel around Bulgaria – there
are no visa barriers. Medical and social support is available. The
country is actively developing its infrastructure and creating
favorable conditions for traveling around Europe.
Buying Bulgarian real estate is strategically convenient for
long-term residence.
