DESPITE its delightful climate, friendly people, stunning scenery, wonderful beaches and rich cultural heritage, Turkey remains a relatively well-kept secret. Unlike some of our closer European neighbours, Turkey is still largely undiscovered – dare we say unspoilt! – by the British. The leading overseas property purchasing magazine, A Place in the Sun, rates Turkey as one of the latest property hotspots, with a good rental market and value for money, and also mentions the added benefit of “established agents” such as Discover Turkey Homes. There are many reasons why now is a good time to invest in Turkish  property. Just a few of them are outlined below. GETTING THERE Turkey is increasingly accessible by plane. Alanya is just 90 minutes from the principal airport at Antalya. A new international airport, Gazipasa, is due to come on stream in 2008 and is just a 30 minute drive from the centre of Alanya.This will have a positive influence on property prices in the region. The new development will result in an increase of low-cost flights to Turkey from 13 different UK airports, with more budget airlines introducing regular services. The public transport system in Turkey is the envy of many countries, with a solid and modern infrastructure. Its network of bus routes uses modern high-quality vehicles running at frequent intervals. Train journeys, on the excellent rail network, are cheap compared with those in the UK. Similarly, internal flights are relatively inexpensive, with local ferries providing a good service in major coastal locations. |
