Turkey Properties & Holidays

2009-03-06T13:21:00.000-08:00

More Information On Turkey:
For Holidays or Property Investments

Every stretch of Turkey’s coastline is simply dazzling. Its magnificent landscape of olive groves and rocky crags is edged with pristine beaches, secret coves and sparkling blue waters. Idyllic fishing harbours, holiday villages, colourful bazaars and the remains of ancient civilisations sit side-by-side to create a unique mix of modern and traditional culture.

Popular for its peaceful and relaxed pace of life, Turkey’s beautiful peninsula is the ideal villa holiday destination for lively days and leisurely nights – or vice versa.

From chic candlelit bistros to waterfront eateries with far-reaching sea views, dining out in Turkey is a rich experience. Villa holidays here are popular for the regional food on offer - a unique mixture of Mediterranean and Far Eastern influences. The cuisine varies from fresh seafood to meatballs and the internationally-renowned kebab.

You can feast on a delicious assortment of meze dishes native to Turkey, from grilled meats to sticky sweet pastries – accompanied by traditional music and belly dancing. Why not pick up the catch of the day to grill in the seclusion of your own private holiday villa.

The Turquoise Coast is also crammed with sites of ancient civilisations to visit, such as the city of Xanthos and its Roman theatre and Acropolis, the Letoon theatre, the rock tombs and theatre of Antiphellos. Kekora is also particularly noteworthy. Many centuries ago, the city was devastated by an earthquake and left submerged, but partly visible beneath the sea.

Wherever you are on the coastline, a short drive inland will take you through Turkey’s traditional villages untroubled by the modern world.

Turkish Riviera - Alanya - More Info!

2008-05-01T04:08:00.000-07:00

Here is a little more information about our
wonderful Turkish Riviera.

The first thing to know is that Overseas Property Buyers started to show their interest to Alanya starting from 2002 and this interest have constantly increased since then. According to latest numbers 13,250 Overseas Property have been purchased (as of May 2007) by mainly Irish, Scandinavian and British Citizens and expectations are quite high for the next 10 to 15 years.

When asked about this interest Overseas Property Purchasers
list their interest to Alanya as follow:

• Beautiful Weather
• Very warm welcome from the Local Population
• Easy to leave region
• Natural Beauty
• Exceptional Quality-Price ratio

The main town on the Med coast is Alanya which is 65 miles east of Antalya Airport. With its solid infrastructure, high level of English speaking locals, Banks (both Turkish and International), Hospitals (both privately and state owned), very low crime rate, Alanya stands among the most developed region on the Med coast.

At the moment, the best new developments for investment and for climate and activities of fun and culture all start along the med coast in Alanya, Oba and Mahmutlar. You will find folks from many European countries both investing and living here full-time.

Many new foreign shopping chains have built stores and malls in this area which allows you to find items and foods just as if you were back home.

The Paradise where Europe Meets Asia

2008-04-22T02:45:00.000-07:00

The paradise at the heart of the world

Turkey truly is a paradise waiting to be discovered. An incredibly varied and beautiful land offering you an array of experiences and wonderful contrasts. To begin with, it’s right at the heart of the world being at the crossroads of three of the world’s great geographical regions: Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
This breathtaking country can also be described as the cradle of civilisation. The first known settlement in the world was found at Catalhöyuk, northeast from Konya, dating back to an astonishing 6500 BC.

But Turkey isn’t just a treasure house of historic artefacts, it’s a thriving, bustling, energetic modern country, with cosmopolitan cities, dazzling marinas, first class hotels and restaurants and every kind of sport and leisure activity. With its wonderful climate, friendly, hospitable people, world class cuisine, great service and reasonable prices, Turkey is just about the perfect place to buy a property.

The main town on the Med coast is Alanya which is 65 miles east of Antalya Airport. With its solid infrastructure, high level of English speaking locals, Banks (both Turkish and International), Hospitals (both privately and state owned), very low crime rate, Alanya stands among the most developed region on the Med coast.

Alanya-Turkey: News-Places-To Do. #2

Kleopatra Beach

Kleopatra/ Damlatas beach is situated on the western side of the peninsula which splits Alanya into two. The beach is said to be Alanya’s best. The sand is finer and there are not many rocks or stones but the water does deepen more quickly than at the eastern beach.

When Queen Kleopatra of Egypt was given the area around Alanya as a present from the Roman general Antony, she bathed at the foot of the cliff every day. Originally there was a tunnel, leading from the castle directly to her private beach, through which she was carried whenever she wanted to swim.

The 3.5 kilometre long beach is also known as Damlatas beach because of the Damlatas dripstone cave on the western side of the peninsula discovered in 1948. Today the cave is one of Alanya’s many tourist attractions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James Dean Bar

A night out In Alanya is not complete unless you have
been to James Dean.

Decorated with many James Dean pictures the disco is arranged in small sections each with their own characters and you will also find plenty of opportunities to either dance or sit down and relax in comfortable sofas and seating areas.

Listen and relax in the VIP bar to the live Turkish music or enjoy the beats and the rhythms of the dance music.

Don’t forget to visit during the day and receive the 50% discount on all drinks.

Alanya-Turkey: News-Places-To Do. #1

2008-02-09T07:48:00.000-08:00

Taurus Mountains

Immediately behind Alanya the Taurus Mountains rise to a peak of 3,500 metres. The highest mountain nearest to Alanya at 1,649 metres is the Cebelireis east of the town.

The deciduous and coniferous trees, deep valleys, mountain streams and waterfalls make the Taurus Mountains an incomparable site of natural beauty. Melting snow feeds the rivers and streams till mid June.

Behind Alanya a road leads to the Türktas plateau (known as Yayla in Turkish). In the summertime the rich Alanya people, and now more and more foreigners, try to escape from the heat of the town to their luxury villas. During the weekend many local families enjoy having a barbecue in the forest shade. Nowadays the old Turkmen resting and picnic areas are adapted to restaurants.

A bit further away from Alanya are the uplands where every spring, just like centuries ago, whole villages pack up and move from the valleys to the mountain tops. There on the plateau, at approximately 1,000 metres, they breed goats and produce butter and cheese as well as carpets and tapestries. These carpets are knotted as in the olden days. Instead of the usual nomad tents small compact houses are used which are easy to lock up in autumn and left deserted during the winter.

The Taurus Mountains are of course also popular with tourists! Village tours show the interested visitors the natural beauty of the area and bring them closer to Turkish culture. Jeep or Quad safaris and Enduro tours are a favourite with the more adventurous traveller!

One of the most popular attractions with tourists and locals alike is the charming fish restaurants scattered along the mountain streams. Tables and chairs are placed in the cool clear water. Guests are able to eat wonderful fresh trout whilst their feet are soaking in the stream!

There are many alternatives in the northern surroundings for those who find the weather too hot or are bored by the beaches of Alanya.

Buying Property in Turkey

2008-02-05T23:29:00.000-08:00

Turkey Property Buying Information:

The property market in Turkey offers great value for money. It is a popular location amongst international real estate investors and home buyers alike. Turkey has been highly sought after as a holiday destination for a long time with around 25 million tourists flocking to the stunning beaches along the Turkish coast each year. The beautiful climate and exotic quality of life help to make Turkey a location that is much in demand.

The profile of Turkey has been greatly improved due to a large increase in media exposure, Turkey property is in great demand and Turkey itself is at the start of a predicted property boom. Turkey’s current status as a candidate for membership of the EU with likely inclusion as a full member in the near future has added to the overwhelming interest in properties in Turkey.

Turkish property still offers enormous potential for returns on investment. Last year alone, property prices rose by around 50% with more people looking to purchase homes in Turkey. This extra demand is set to push prices up drastically.

Taking into consideration the country's many attributes, Turkey can hardly be rivaled in any other investment location with similar assets.

Keep coming back to this Blog as we plan to post new info on a weekly basis.
