Property for Sale in Turkey

Whether you simply love to laze on the beach, dip in turquoise waters, discover art and history, enjoy golf or simply like browsing through markets, Turkey offers a lifestyle of endless possibilities all year round. Surrounded by four different seas, Turkey is a beach paradise with over 8,000 kilometres of sunny strips of sand with a different personality, history, landscape and cuisine for each region.

The country is at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, which made it a cradle of civilizations throughout history. Two of the Seven Wonders of the World are in Turkey: the Artemis Temple in Ephesus and the Halicarnassus Mausoleum in Bodrum. Each location in Turkey has a story – wherever you live, you will live where one of the Lycian, Ionian, Greek, Macedonian, Roman or Ottoman civilizations chose to. You will be neighbours with Apollo, watch the sunset where Anthony fell in love with Cleopatra and bathe where the Romans did.

Of course in cities and towns like Fethiye and Bodrum there is a modern, lively ambience of contemporary social living alongside tradition, where art and music can be enjoyed whether it belongs to today or yesteryear. Turkey is an energetic modern country which boasts a thriving economy. With first class hotels and resorts, brand new marinas, a world class fusion cuisine, one of the best nightlife’s in Europe, and last but not least a wonderful climate, Turkey is a fantastic place to call your second home.

Why Look at Property for Sale in Turkey?

With a tourist season that stretches from April to November and increasing numbers of visitors, Turkey is really growing as a real estate investment destination.

Turkey is unique in being the only one of the world's top ten tourist destinations to record an increase in visitors last year with over 27 million people from around the world staying there during 2009, up 2.8% on 2008. The one thing that the majority of these visitors have in common is that they all need somewhere to stay. It is no surprise then that so many potential investors are now waking up to the substantial profits that can be gained by investing in Turkey.

Turkish property prices are still hugely undervalued so there is an opportunity to make substantial returns on investments. In the next two years, for a well chosen investment, this could be as high as 10%. However, it is important to realise that although prices are still far lower than in other countries, they will not remain like this forever, especially considering Turkey's imminent accession to Europe. Consequently 2010 genuinely offers investors the perfect window of opportunity to maximise returns on their investment.

Property investors can benefit from the good rental income that their properties are fetching in an area that has just about everything, with predictions of capital growth of up to 20% over the next five years this makes Turkey an ideal property hotspot.

Bodrum

Bodrum (ancient Halicarnassus) is the birthplace of Herodotus and the home to the Tomb of the King Mausolus, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The first thing that will strike you as you drive into the town is the wonderful panoramic view with Bodrum Castle, a fine example of architecture from the period of the Crusades, shining in the middle.

It is said that Bodrum is to Turkey what Cannes is to the South of France. The peninsula has many beaches and bays and has great potential for an increase in foreign home ownership. It offers the amenities of a city centre, the joys of the sea and sand, and a non-stop nightlife.

Fethiye

Fethiye is at the heart of the Turquoise coast with its magnificent beaches, mountain views, and well preserved nature. Ölüdeniz is just a few kilometres away with its pristine white beaches and amazingly blue waters and is one of the finest beaches in the world.

The Fethiye region is a wonderful blend of nature and history. According to mythology, the city was founded by the Sun God, Apollon. The beaches and residential areas are surrounded by bays and coves where construction is strictly forbidden. When you can take your eyes off the stunning sea view and look back behind you, you will see relics and tombs carved into the mountains 2,500 years ago.
