Field notes
Hotter and less polished than Istanbul or Antalya, but cheaper by a meaningful margin. Çukurova and Seyhan are the urban nomad pockets. Turkey's 90-day visa-free or e-visa applies; the new DNV pilot is still maturing. Summers are genuinely brutal (35°C+ and humid coastal); the November–April window is when this city makes sense. Lira volatility is the macro story — foreign-currency earners have a structural advantage.
