I predict tourism will decline rapidly due to high prices for eating out. Coming year prices may be higher than in Europe. Two years ago a peper steak in a restaurant would cost 8 euros, last year 12 euros and this year 20 euros! With these kinds of prices you can go to Italy or Greece.
Of course possible to maintain a good relative standard of living with less. Very much depends what you expect.
Spending TL 25.000 pm will considerably contribute to local economy, TL 5.000 far less.
A 5 K is possible, but will not you to do what you have in mind?
