How Turkey works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Turkey, Samsun leads at 67/100 — cost 47, climate 98, safety 66; warmest-month highs around 21.5°C and coldest-month lows near 5.0°C give you a feel for the seasons. Bodrum is the pure-budget play at cost 52/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Turkey before booking anything long-term.
