Turkey hailed as a dream home for retirees
Turkey hailed as a dream home for retirees
Turkey has been hailed an ideal place for Brits looking to live abroad during their retirement.
Cheap living costs and "exceptionally low" house prices mean that retirees and expatriates are increasingly attracted to the Eurasian country, according to the Global Property Group.
For £65,000, a three or four-bedroom new-build villa with pool can be purchased, while £35,000 could pay for a two-bedroom apartment, the firm said.
Director Mike Dunkerley said that compared to Spain and Bulgaria, Turkey is a "well-kept secret".
"It is a huge country and there are places where prices are exceptionally low," he commented.
"Money in the bank earns 18 per cent interest – yes, 18 per cent – so you can live off savings. There are expat British communities doing precisely this."
According to Atlas International, there are currently 12,000 British-owned properties in Turkey.
Investors flocking to Turkey 'to take advantage of market boom'
Investors flocking to Turkey 'to take advantage of market boom'
People are buying property in Turkey in order to access "superior" interest rates in the country's banks, one expert has said.
Michael Harrop, manager of New Turkish Properties, said the Turkish government is doing all it can to attract overseas investors.
As well as offering "fantastic" interest rates to property buyers, the government has also sanctioned the building of roads, motorways and other forms of infrastructure.
Investors are also drawn to the year-round sunshine and the fact that the property market itself is booming.
Mr Harrop said that in the last two years property values have appreciated by about 40 per cent and expects them to rise by the same amount within the next three years.
"There's probably as many that are considering [buying in Turkey] from an investment point of view as there are buying holiday homes at the moment," he added.
In recent times, the Turkish government has made a concerted effort to boost the country's property market.
Thanks to a loosening of mortgage regulations, investors will be able to take out a mortgage over a term of up to 30 years from January 2008.

Once an important Roman city, Side is now a family beach resort with a good selection of apartments and villas around it
On a small peninsular, 65 km east of Antalya, Side is a family beach resort surrounded by impressive Roman ruins. Sandy beaches stretch along the coast in either direction, attracting thousands of European and Turkish holidaymakers each summer. Due to the scarcity of land, development, mainly apartment complexes and villas, has spread along the coast to the east and west of the resort, as well as inland towards the coastal highway.
A short drive away are the beautiful waterfalls of Manavgat and the stunning Roman theatre of Aspendos, which hosts a music festival each summer. There's also rafting in the Koprulu Canyon National Park.

Dalaman - Map of Turkey
A beautiful area, great for nature lovers, with government investment set to improve the infrastructure and facilities
Traditionally an agricultural region, growing citrus, vegetables and cotton, Dalaman was put on the tourist map by its international airport. Local attractions include several excellent beaches, thermal mud baths and the ruins of ancient Kaunos. The area as a whole offers unspoilt rural countryside, with white water rafting and excellent bird-watching. The government’s decision to channel investment into the area’s infrastructure as part of an ambitious tourism development project has encouraged intense interest from developers and private buyers.
DIDYMA - DIDIM INFO MAP
DIDYMA - DIDIM INFO MAP
DIDYMA -Didim was a sacred place starting from the 8th century B.C as it was a cult center for the city of Miletos with a spring and sacred grove. The word Didyma meant 'twins' and was associated by some as being the meeting place of Zeus and Leto to have their twins Apollo and Artemis.
Today it is surrounded by a Turkish village call DIDIM. It is in Söke district of the province of AYDIN and distanced about 9 mi.[15 km.] to Miletos , 33 mi.[53 km.] to Söke, 39 mi. [62 km.] Ephesus and 69 mi.[110 km.] to Bodrum. As you can notice, these ancient places are pretty close each other, so as a tourists you can visit all this sacred places of ancient Anatolia by a day trip journey.
There are two important temples in Didyma; Apollon and Artemis temples. The TEMPLE OF APOLLON which was one of the largest masterpieces of Hellenistic architecture.
The Hellenistic ARTEMIS TEMPLE measured by 33(~109 mt) by 15(~51 mt) feets and had a total of 124 columns. Columns are still standing. In the temple grounds are fragments of its rich decoration including a striking head of Medusa (she of the hair of snakes).
In ancient time Didyma was on the sea side and following the shore a road ('Sacret road') from Miletos was connected to the harbor of Didyma, called Panormos. Road continues to the south again and on either side of the road there were statues of recumbent lions, statues of the priests of the Temple of Apollo. Entire 'Sacret Road' is stone paved.
The Temple of Apollo was a major monument is it's day, however now not much of it's sanctuary can be seen. What can be seen is a collasal, unfinished Ionic temple.
If are you are visiting the Ephesus/Kusadasi area and also want visit to Didyma(Didim), transportation is available with 'dolmus'(collective transport which is in most cases it is a mini-van). They regularly run to Kusadasi and Bodrum. You can also arrange your journey with local travel/tour agencies. They offer tours to both places.
There is also a daily ferry service from Bodrum where you can catch a boat to the Greek island of Kos. ( More information )
A few minutes away from DIDIM comes Turkey's one of the best natural beach ALTINKUM (The golden sand). Whole ALTINKUM shore embraces thousands of islands of which some are not even shown on the maps and with its curved shores, this shore can not be described easily because it is absolutely beautiful! The whole area offers beautiful beaches(3), water sports, good hotels and resorts, restaurants bar, discotecs and a good value holiday for everone!
