Good news for Antalya and Istanbul as recently released figures have revealed that they are the most popular destinations for all tourists to Turkey.

Article written by The Overseas Guides Company

In fact they are so popular they dominate more than 80 per cent of all tourist traffic and this figure seems to only be on the up.

To demonstrate, in the period between 2011-2012, the capital city played host to over nine million tourists and Antalya hosted 10 million. This means that between them the two cities were the destinations of choice for nearly 20 million of the roughly 25 million tourists that visited Turkey in this period.

With this in mind, you don’t need us to tell you that investing in rental property in these areas would make a savvy investment. Today, the Turkey Buying Guide tells you about a couple of great properties ideal for investment purposes.

This fantastic one bedroom apartment is on the market for an astonishing £35,900 and it goes without saying that its location on the Mediterranean Bay of Kalkan makes it a prime rental investment. The apartment, which is in a central location close to all of the amenities, comes with a fitted kitchen, air conditioning and the use of the excellent on-site facilities.

This brand new development is located in the up and coming area of Halkali on the European side of Istanbul close to Kucuk Cekmece Lake. The excellent on-site facilities and fast transport links into the heart of Istanbul make them prime rental properties and the price tag of just £57,226 doesn’t hurt either.
