>Due to the Turkish lira collapsing

That doesn't bold well for stability. Hungry did appear on my list, the rent seems very very low.

Right now I'm trying to see where COVID-19 will be in a few months. If it's still not possible to travel easily, I might need to stay and save for a bit longer.

The lira has been down for quite some time. I wouldn't consider it indicative of future instability.

Hungary is also a good (and affordable) choice. Budapest is probably one of the most interesting cities in Europe, IMO.

Hungary does have the Orban and anti-LGBT situations, so your personal comfort at living in such an environment is something to consider.

It's not as severe as advertised.

Turkey is stable, maybe there could be revolution, but normal traveler will hardly notice. Airport may be closed for couple of days. I was there during coup.

Also turkey is big and diverse, so if borders closes, it is still large country to travel. It hardly puts any limitations on foreigners.
