At the very heart of the demand for property in Turkey is the country’s rapdly expanding tourist industry. Once seen as a far off and exotic destination, Turkey is today seen as far more accessible, and many people are now looking at Turkey for long weekend and other short breaks. The main reason for this is the large number of low cost airlines which are now flying into Turkey on a daily basis. Indeed new international airports like those in Bodrum and Dalaman have been extensively refurbised purely for the purposes of catering for the expanding number of tourist visitors from overseas.

The second reason for the growth of the Turkish property market is the country’s booming economy, which last year was ranked only second to China in terms of GDP growth. Far removed from the issues which hamper the traditional Eurozone destinations, Turkey is now seen in glowing terms as one of the key emerging nations. Understandably, being away from the Eurozone has proven a huge advantage over the past six months, and this trend looks set to continue for the foreseeable future.

Today, there is a huge selection of property for sale in Turkey, ranging from luxurious beachfront villas in destinations such as Bodrum and Fethiye, through to compact investment property in Istanbul. Catering for the vast majority of tastes and budgets, the demand for property in Turkey looks set to continue for the next few years at least.
