Konya vs Antalya
How to read the comparison chart
The grouped bars score each city 0–100 on cost, climate and safety — taller is better. Konya leads on any axis where its bar is higher, Antalya where its is. The cost bar uses a higher-is-cheaper scale, so Antalya's taller cost bar reflects its lower cost of living, not a higher price.
| Axis | Konya | Antalya |
|---|---|---|
| Livability | 61 | 59 |
| Cost (higher=cheaper) | 44 | 44 |
| Climate | 88 | 82 |
| Safety | 56 | 55 |
| Summer °C | 22.0 | 27.7 |
| Winter °C | 0.4 | 7.4 |
| Top disaster risk | wildfire | wildfire |
Konya vs Antalya: the short answer
Konya comes out ahead on overall livability (61/100), only marginally above Antalya (59/100). The two cities diverge most on climate. On affordability Antalya is the cheaper base — nearly identical prices on our cost index (Konya 44 vs Antalya 44, where a higher score means a lower cost of living, normalised from World Bank price levels). For climate, Antalya runs warmer in summer (about 27.7°C peak vs 22.0°C in Konya), while winter lows sit near 0.4°C in Konya and 7.4°C in Antalya. On natural-disaster exposure Konya is the safer choice (safety 56/100); the dominant modelled hazard is wildfire for Konya and wildfire for Antalya.
Which city should you choose?
- On a tight budget → Antalya — lower everyday costs..
- You want warmth → Antalya — hotter summers.

Data & methodology
Cost scores are normalised from World Bank price-level data. Climate figures (summer highs, winter lows) are drawn from 1991–2020 climate normals. Disaster-safety blends USGS earthquake history (magnitude 4.5+ within 300 km since 1980), tropical-cyclone basin position, flood/elevation exposure and Köppen climate zone. The livability score is the weighted composite of cost, climate and safety. All figures are planning indicators for 2026, not guarantees — verify specifics before relocating.
