Turkey is one of the favorite holiday destinations of English speaking Europeans.

This season, more than 1.5 million guests visited the Turkish Riviera. Some of the reason people choose Turkey are as follows:

The hospitality of the Turkish people is well known all over the world. It might seem a little strange that everyone offers tea, coffee and cigarettes
  when you visit a shop but in Turkey this is a must as it shows good manners, even if you don´t 
  buy anything in their shop. When you are travelling from Istanbul to Afyon at 02.00 a.m. and
  stop at a petrol station, they will invite you to have some coffee with them so that you will not
  get too tired on your journey. People here are really interested in foreigners. You will get used to
  it after living here for a long period of time.

  Most of the people who are thinking of buying properties in Turkey, also want to use their
  properties for retirement purposes. The cost of living is still very low and is only about 30 per  
  cent of what you would spend in Great Britain.

Water costs for an apartment is about 2 GBP a month, electricity is approximately 12 GBP a month…

Leather,high quality clothes, shoes and jewellery are extremely cheap. Electronics are sometimes not even half of the price you would pay in Europe, car mechanic charges are about 5 GBP for an hours work.

You will be amazed at the low cost of living in Turkey...

Turkey has a very good economical future ( this country is No. 2 worldwide in cotton production), lots of renewals and investments are still to come. This country´s history is tremendous, rich and very interesting. It has been a settlement for many civilizations since 7500BC.

Turkish people are very friendly, helpful and open minded.

Come and visit us. Get to know the Turkish people in their own country.

  The "Pearl of the Mediterranean"

  When the climate has a positive effect on the human body, it is also good for your soul; the sun renews our strength. The mild sea and   
  climate constantly revives you and allows you to have a good night sleep. During any season of the year, you will end your stay with a  
  healthy tan. You will experience nature in ever-changing new ways and you will always see blossom ;the season lasts all year long.
  Whether it is orange blossom, bougainvillea or oleander. October sees the start of orange picking on the nearby orange plantation. This
  lasts until May-June and whilst the last fruit is being plucked from the trees, these same trees will be covering
  themselves in new blossom.

The large popular resort center of Alanya lies at one end of a rocky promontory which juts out into the Mediterranean between two long sandy beaches. The 13 th century Seljuk fortress- one of the most magnificent sights on the coast crowns the headland. About 150 towers punctuate the walls of the well- preserved, double walled citadel. Within the outer walls are ruins of mosques, a caravanserai and a covered bazaar; in the inner walls are a ruined cistern and a Byzantine church.

  Although Alanyas history dates back to Roman times, it rose to prominence under the Seljuks, when in 1220, Alaeddin Keykubat made it
  his winter residence and naval base. The surviving buildings reflect the importance of the city in Seljuk times.

  Visit the impressive 14th century fortress which sits high above Alanya. Within its walls are quaint houses, mosques and a Byzantine
  church decorated with frescoes. There are twisting narrow alleyways tempting shoppers with their colourful boutiques and stalls of cheese-
  cloth dresses, carpets, copper and jewellery. As well as its cultural and historical sights, Alanya has an unbeatable beach life too. Beautiful
  sandy Cleopatra beach lies to the west of the resort while the fine sands of Alanya beach stretch to the east. A good range of water  
  sports are available too.

  The nightlife is easy-going and relaxing with wide choices of night-spots located at the edge of town. Take your pick from lively bars to
  late-night discos for real night-owls. Alanya is truly a holiday makers paradise. With superb scenery, historical sights, a relaxed beach life
  and a lively nightlife, its easy to see why Alanya is so idyllic.

  Alanya is a beautiful holiday centre of modern hotels and motels, numerous
  fish restaurants and cafes and bars. The cafes that ring the harbour have
  become popular gathering places for tourists. From the town´s lovely park,
  the road runs along the coast to the harbour, lined with countless boutiques
  that tempt tourists with handicrafts, leather, clothes, jewellery, handbags and
  the amusing painted gourds, a symbol of the area. In August, when Alanya
  hosts a colourful International Folklore Festival the atmosphere is charged with
  vitality and gaiety. If you enjoy exploring, you should visit the Damlatas Cave
  to see the eerie misshapen rock formations.

  Nearby is the Archaeology and Ethnography Museum. A boat can take you to
  the three sea grottoes: Fosforlu Magara with its phosphorescent rocks, the
  Kizlar Magarasi, where pirates imprisoned their female captives, and the Asiklar
  Magarasi. When the intense sun overpowers you, take a day trip to the Dim
  Cayi Valley.

  If you travel east from Alanya towards Gazipasa you will discover and no doubt Linger on the exceptional beaches. 30 km east of Alanya,
  Aytap, the historical harbour city Lotape, is a great excursion site, with Roman ruins, secluded beaches and bays.

  Also Cyprus is worth a small trip, the ferry trip to Girne takes about 3 hrs. If you like to gamble, there are several Casinos on the northern
  part of the island. The taxi-drivers know the way.

  Here are the ferry prices for return tickets:
  Grown-ups 60 $, Children 7-12 years 30 $, Kids up to 6 years are free.

  member of the municipality. The land register is administrated by the Tapu-Office, here
  the name of the owner will be changed in the register on buying the property. For this
  you need your ID, 4 Passport-Photographs, and the name of your father (turkish habit).
  A certified translator must be present who will tell you exactly what is going on.

  In case of inheritance the Turkish authorities accept an official testament made in your
  home country. Other wise the Turkish Erbfolge will be based. The Tapu is not to be received
  by “friends”, lawyers or notars. The only way to get it is at the Tapu-Office !

  More and more European customers are interested in real estate in Turkey.

  One thing is for certain: Over 18 Million people in Europe seriously want to buy properties on the Turkish Riviera. More than 85 per 
  cent of the vacation guests of TUI who book 5-Star-Hotels on the Turkish Riviera are more than 55 years old. These people know
  exactly what their money is worth, and have had to work for it all of their life. They would like to spend the rest of it here, so they
  are looking for a smart investment for their future.

  One of our projects is designed especially for elder people. Pharmacy and doctors in the building, all necessary facilities in close  
  proximity. Seniors are very interested in apartments like these. Show them how you can help them to fulfill their dreams by working
  with us.

  Another example is one of our new projects being planned at the moment. It is an area only with villas, where each manor has a
  landing stage for a boat. The plot size will be at least 2500m², the living space will start at 350m². This will be a completely new
  project which has never been done before on the Turkish Riviera.

  As you see, we have many interesting things to talk about.

  The Turkish Riviera also offers a lot of great chances for investors.

  Many things you take for granted in Western Europe are still not found in Alanya. This town has a population of 124.000 people, but
  still there is no construction wholesalers.

  Any tools etc that are required means a 80 mile trip to Antalya. There is no automatic car wash, no Mercedes-Benz or BMW Trader.

  A smart investment is to invest in Alanya. When you think of the future, this area still has a great deal of potential and room to
  expand.

  An investment of 100.000 pounds will make you a very good profit in a very short time.

  Visit us, and we will talk or contact us for a personal consultation.
