Strategically located just a 4- hour flight away from the UK Turkey is indeed a “rare jewel”.
This vast country has a diverse culture with many different regions that enjoy a range of varying climates. In the popular tourist areas an agreeable climate exists that sees long fine days of warm sunshine last for most of the year.
The country enjoys an amazing contrasting landscape that comprises a mixture of scenic mountains, lush green woodlands and extensive tracts of undulating beautiful lakeside countryside plus an extensive coastline enjoys numerous sandy beaches that gently are lapped by the warm seawater.
The Turkish people are friendly and hospitable, which together with the country’s many virtues is why Turkey is so fast becoming a seriously popular holiday destination, especially with British and European tourists, many whom believe they are discovering the “new Spain”.
The country offers superb property value plus a low cost of living, which alone makes this a most attractive lure for overseas property investors and sun-seekers.
Many who flock to buy are encouraged by the favourable accolades yet all foresee a good prospect for strong future capital growth and certain “hotspot” regions have become a property investor’s paradise.
Across the region from places such as Bodrum and Marmaris, on the Agean coast, southwards down to the warmer climes of Side and Alanya, overseas buyers are snapping up property.
Side is located in the Antalya region along the Mediterranean coast a 45 minute drive from the International airport, which is the 2nd largest in the country and is open all year round. Nearby in Belek a golfers haven is being created with 12 championship courses that would not look at all out of place in Florida!
Property prices along this coast are still very affordable, although this will undoubtedly change with the passing of time.
Countryside International who have offices in the UK and Turkey are offering spacious new 2- bedroom apartments (800 square ft) close to the beach in historic Side from £50,000 whereas new large detached 4 bedroom 3 bathroom villas of Mediterranean style (1900 sq ft) with a private swimming pool within the same area are costing between £130,000 & £145,000.
Such property if it were located in the Costa del Sol of Spain would cost at least £500,000 making these homes absolutely wonderful value!
Everywhere you travel to in Turkey you will find Roman ruins; Side was once a favoured romantic meeting place for Cleopatra and this one time fishing village with its amphitheatre and fine ancient ruins is now one of the most popular holiday destination, whereas nearby Aspendos has one of the best preserved amphitheatres in the world and here they still present major music festival events and live theatre concerts.
A popular ski resort in the mountains near Antalya is a mere two and half hour drive from Side enabling visitors to take a dip in the sea in the morning and to then drive to ski in the afternoon, a fine combination to keep you fit and healthy!
