The best properties in Turkey

Why Türkiye...?

Turkey has a diverse climate – warm Mediterranean and Aegean coastlines, mild winters in the western regions, and cooler mountains in central Anatolia. Turkey boasts over 300 days of sunshine per year in regions such as Antalya, Alanya, Bodrum, and Fethiye. Turkey’s location makes it a bridge between Europe and Asia, increasing its attractiveness for tourists and investors. Real estate prices are lower compared to European countries (Spain, Italy, Greece), and the standard of modern apartments is very high. Furthermore, Turkey offers the opportunity to purchase new apartments in seaside resorts at attractive prices, with full amenities and facilities (swimming pool, gym, security). Large cities and resorts offer modern construction, shopping centers, airports, highways, and public transportation. Popular seaside locations have a full tourist infrastructure, restaurants, clubs, and international schools. Citizenship is available for purchases of real estate worth at least USD 400,000 (as of 2025). This is a unique opportunity for those looking to combine investment with permanent residence and citizenship. Turkey combines an attractive climate, a lower cost of living, high investment potential, the possibility of obtaining citizenship, and a rich culture and lifestyle. This makes purchasing real estate not only a financial investment but also a life investment—for families, retirees, those looking to run a business, or simply enjoy a year-round vacation lifestyle.     

Culture

It is incredibly rich, diverse, and full of contrasts – the result of a fusion of Ottoman, Turkish, Central Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean traditions. This is what makes Turkey so unique and fascinating for those who come there permanently, for visits, or for investment purposes.

Hospitality (misafirperverlik)

Turks are known for their extraordinary hospitality.

When you visit someone at home or even meet them on the street:

  • you may be offered tea (çay),
  • invited inside without any formalities,
  • treated as an important guest, even if you’ve just met them.

A guest in Turkish culture is sacred—it’s one of their most distinctive traits.

Tea and Coffee

Tea is an absolute staple of everyday life:

  • drinked in small tulip glasses,
  • it is used for conversations, negotiations, family and business meetings.

Turkish coffee (kahve):

  • has a thick consistency,
  • often served with water and sweets,
  • it can be used for “telling fortunes” (fala).

Religion and Tradition

Turkey is a secular country, but religion (Islam) plays an important role in social life.

In practice, this means:

  • you hear the muezzin’s call several times a day,
  • Ramadan influences the rhythm of life,
  • certain behaviors in public places (e.g., dress code in mosques) are governed by respectful principles.

Despite tradition, large cities (Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya) are very modern and cosmopolitan.

Strong Family Ties

Family is the center of social life:

  • multi-generational households are common,
  • parents have a significant influence on children’s decisions,
  • family relationships are extremely close and intense.

For many foreigners, this may be surprising, but also very positive.

Cuisine - one of the best in the world

Turkish cuisine is not just kebabs.

It also includes:

  • meze (appetizers),
  • vegetable and olive oil dishes (Aegean flavors),
  • baklava, kunefe,
  • fish and seafood,
  • grilled meats,
  • ayran and raki.

Eating in Turkey is a culture in itself — meals are long, family-oriented, and celebratory.

Historical Heritage

Turkey is a crossroads of civilizations:

  • Byzantine,
  • Ottoman,
  • Anatolian,
  • Greek,
  • Armenian, and Kurdish cultures.

That’s why, in one country, you’ll encounter:

  • mosques,
  • Byzantine churches,
  • Roman theaters,
  • ancient seaside cities,
  • sultan’s palaces, and oriental bazaars.
