Natalie Real estate in Antalya wears a gold crown as a top hotspot for property buyers and investors. Sitting on the eastern Mediterranean coastline of Turkey, the province stretches from Alanya to Kas. Comprising a bustling city centre, and smaller coastal resorts, it always surprises newcomers, both foreigners and Turks alike, and offers the ideal opportunity for a healthy real estate investment.
Backed by the green Taurus mountain range and fronted by sandy beaches and the crystal blue Mediterranean Sea, it is the second most popular holiday destination in Turkey. Covering over 20,000 square kilometres, business, investment property, travel, education, food, culture, and arts thrive in the area.
One major reason for its international success and why people look to invest in it is an award-winning, ultramodern airport. Otherwise, its central position on the main D400 highway makes getting there by bus or car easy. From April to November, many yacht owners flock because of its status on the Turkish Riviera. Such is its success; the province hosts approximately 15 million tourists a year.
Buying Real estate in Antalya
Thousands of ex-pats living in the region, enjoy a laid-back lifestyle that far outranks life in their home countries. Hot summers with 40-degree temperatures in July and August bring out beach lovers from all four corners of the world. While in Spring, Autumn and Winter, people with other interests take advantage of cool days, to see popular touristic attractions and historical tour sites.
Other than that, it offers everything a worthy destination should. Including a vibrant nightlife and shopping scene, many touristic attractions, an excellent hospitality industry, unrivalled arts, and cultural opportunities, it is an all-rounder accommodating everyone regardless of nationality or social status.

Renting out your Property
Some buyers look to rent out their new home as a way of passive income or to recoup the running costs. It is legal in Turkey; however; you must declare long-term tenants or holiday renters who stay in your property and pay tax on leasing income over a certain amount. If this is your plan, we advise to research each neighbourhood separately to gauge the potential rental yield and see the existing market, which will be your competition. Currently, the area achieving the highest rental profits is Kalkan on the outskirts, which has a solid reputation for luxury.
