Turkey: Voted the World's 4th Most Popular Destination For Overseas Property Purchases
According to "A Place in the Sun"s recent survey of readers and exhibition goers, Turkey was voted the 4th most popular destination for overseas property purchases, putting it ahead of old favourites Italy, Portugal and the USA. The reason for its success lies in its ability to offer everything the property investor needs: sunshine, beaches, culture, a thriving tourist industry and lots of value properties. The popularity of Turkey today as a second-home destination is compared to that of Spain 20 years ago. Popular areas for investment feature the well known resort of Bodrum on the Aegean coast and towns such as Fethiye and the up and coming towns of Kalkan and Kas on Mediterranean coast.
"A Place in the Sun's" prediction for property buying in Turkey for 2007 quotes Kalkan as the hotspot for property buying in 2007 thank to its characteristic charm and developing lively British community. It also lists the Lycian Way Walking Trail, which runs from Fethiye through Kalkan to Antalya, as one of the "Must Sees" of a visit to Turkey. This walking trail was voted one of the top 10 walks in the world by the Sunday Times.
