Homeowners in Turkey during the autumn should keep an eye out for a dazzling ladies tennis star after it was announced during Wimbledon fortnight that Maria Sharapova will marry her Turkish fiancée at an undisclosed venue there later in the year.

However glamorous and expensive the Russian beauty’s wedding is, Turkey remains one of the best value destinations for British property buyers and expats. To prove it, here we take a look at three
great value properties there, each in a different but popular resort and on the market for under £50,000. Sadly, there’s no guarantee they come with a glamorous tennis star next door!

This one-bedroom apartment is on an exclusive development in Kalkan on the Med coast and benefits from on-site facilities that include a gym, sauna, Turkish bath and four swimming pools. Water sports are also available.

The apartment itself is fully air-conditioned and can accommodate four people comfortably. There is a fully-fitted kitchen, spacious living area complete with sofa-bed and large French doors opening out on to a patio area which enjoys partial sea views. This is the ideal holiday home or investment property and can be yours for £33,000.

This two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is in an area of outstanding natural beauty just 40 minutes from Dalaman airport and 15 minutes from the popular resort of Fethiye. The modern apartment has been finished to a high standard, benefits from lots of natural light and has double-glazing and air-con throughout. The kitchen is fully fitted.

From the property you can enjoy a leisurely stroll through natural woodland and orange groves down to a beautiful, secluded beach. On-site facilities include outdoor swimming pools, an indoor pool, a restaurant and pool-side bar, as well as tennis courts, a fitness centre and 24-hour security. This property can be yours for £49,950.

This peaceful apartment, on the market for £46,000, is located on a well-equipped complex just a five-minute stroll from the centre of Altinkum. The spacious two-bedroom property boasts a massive 100-sq-metre living space, a 20-sq-metre balcony and a 35-sq-metre roof terrace – both of which enjoy lovely views of the town.

The complex benefits from a large swimming pool with plentiful sunbathing space, a gym, bar and restaurant and beautifully maintained communal gardens. This property would be perfect as a lettable holiday home.
