Week One – The Master Plan

Good preparation = Yellow Slip applied, health insurance active, neighborhood explored, manageable feeling after 7 days. Here's the plan from 800+ CMC client experiences.

Day 1-2

Day 1: SIM card at airport, move in, supermarket basics, evening beach walk. Day 2: Yellow Slip application (CMC accompanies). Explore neighborhood systematically. First restaurant meze.

The section on "Week One – The Master Plan" was the most valuable for us. We couldn't find this information anywhere else before our move. It saved us a lot of time and hassle.
