Turkey is ever-so-appealing to international property buyers looking to escape somewhere warmer, find a holiday home to visit year after year or invest! It’s strategically located between Europe and Asia, which is perfect for international businesspeople looking to get on the property ladder.

What’s more, property in Turkey is extremely varied and there are a whole host of options, depending on your budget! You can find apartments in bustling cities for as little as £90,000 or a new-build, state-of-the-art townhouse for £700,000.

In this article, we’ll look at three areas particularly popular with international buyers to help you get the lay of the land and find out what each coast has to offer for anyone interested in property in Turkey.

Bodrum

More than just a holiday destination, Bodrum on the Bodrum Peninsula of Turkey’s southwest coast is a city with a lot to offer. Stretching along the southern coast, Bodrum boasts beautiful twin bays, clean beaches and a grand castle.

The city is renowned for its perpetually sunny resorts which offer glamour and elegance to international buyers. The vibrant city has a range of cultural influences and is hugely popular with expats from across Europe and Asia.

Property in Turkey’s Bodrum ranges from luxury coastal villas and sky-high penthouses to affordable holiday homes and two-bedroom apartments. Bodrum would suit anyone looking to enjoy great weather, sandy beaches and tranquillity, but without being too far from the entertainment.

 

The Aegean Coast

It’s no wonder the Aegean Coast of Turkey is commonly referred to as a paradise for property buyers. Once you’ve laid your eyes on its crystal-clear waters and golden beaches, you’ll never want to leave.

Stretching from the northern border of Greece, right down to the southern edges of the Bodrum Peninsula, the Aegean Coast is a serene, picturesque destination where beautiful landscapes and charming properties go hand-in-hand.

While there are luxury homes available on the Aegean Coast of Turkey, that’s not to say properties are unaffordable. You’re still able to find apartments for as little as £100,000 which come with shared pool access – not bad if it’s a holiday home you’re after!

 

The Mediterranean Coast

Often referred to as the Turquoise Coast, the Mediterranean Coast of Turkey spans a whopping 994 miles – that’s 1.5 times longer than the length of the UK! The largest city on this coast is Antalya, where over 1 million people call home.

Due to the southern coastal location and being bordered by the Taurus Mountains, this area of Turkey benefits from a continental climate with distinct seasons – think hot and dry summers and cold winters.

Property in this region attracts active homebuyers as there’s a never-ending list of activities available that take advantage of its coastal location. Property in Turkey’s Med Coast starts from £150,000 for a one-bedroom apartment in a new-build block of flats, with sea views. A detached villa costs somewhere in the region of £400,000 and for that price you can expect a private pool and a spacious living area.

Cities to explore: Antalya, Alanya and Fethiye.
