Antakya (Antioch), TurkeyCapital City
Follows Turkey Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
Earthquake-prone and brimming with history, Antakya is a city of contradictions. While home to over 400,000 people as of 2022, the former Antioch was devastated by earthquakes in 2023 that destroyed much of its iconic architecture. The tax burden is heavy, and bureaucracy is a persistent headache. Yet Antakya's Levantine cuisine and mixed community of faiths offer a unique cultural experience. This ancient city is best suited for the intrepid traveler, not the risk-averse.
