Thank you Mick, my wife and I are looking (dreaming?) to resettle in Turkey in the next few years, so your videos really help provide vital information and insight.
@@alexsmith5537 It is annoying that you hide behind an English sounding user name, when it is obvious you are not English, or British. You probably have no idea what life is like in the UK at the moment. Your use of the English language is very very poor and demonstrates that you are clearly not a native English speaker. Maybe you are Turkish, and I'm sure you are right that life in Turkey is great, but please stop pretending to be something you are not.
Hey mick amca:) I am turkish American living in USA I am thinking to move fethiye too your videos more helpful then turkish youtubers appreciate for your hard work hope to see you in fethiye:)
Now Turkey is a destination to many people around the world. Life is cheap and easy, and people are very friendly. Also Turkey is a beautiful country who is developing very fast.
Mick great insights to consider for buying property and critical administrative factors necessary to do so...many thank to you and Trudie for all you time and efforts preparing your youtube information...
Thank you Mic for the info and the tips. I will keep following you, there is so much to learn. I am a South African and the crime here will force me to look for a safer place on our beautiful planet. I have been somehow excited about Turkey around a year ago, but never paid much attention. Now its serious business as i have mentioned, the crime levels is unacceptable.
@@mickandtrudie sorry i meant Mick Yes SA is stunning, especially my city of Cape Town as you have probably experienced.

We have watched all your excellent videos Mick and having stayed in Fetihye a few times we are seriously considering buying a property there. Your most recent video is most informative and has invaluable advice, its a credit to you.

Despite the rampant scams among account Managers, i highly recommend that as beginner, you should find a good expert trader to help and guide you through the beginners phase of forex trading so that you don't lose money and Mr Andy Calistoga is a trusted man i can recommend
I have always wanted to expand my business but I could not do that because the cash was not forth coming as I had planned. Getting referred to Mr Andy Calistoga played a great role in that vision. Mr Andy is a great mentor and the best trader/Account manager on my list.
I'm having a wonderful time trading with Mr Andy Calistoga . His trading system is simply the best. I traded for almost two months without making a single profit but all that changed with Mr Andy around

Thanks for your videos. I'm very pleased that real estate agents have to be licensed now and that there are laws to ensure that buildings are built to code. As an additional note; there are many countries besides Turkey where foreign buyers have lost their money and property, Spain being an example where this has occurred even by the local governments. Turkey is certainly not alone in constructing poorly made buildings and apartments; take Australia for example, it has a flood of overpriced and very poorly built apartments, some completely unfit for human habitatation and there is no protection or remedies for the buyer under Australian law.
You should do an information vlog on renting property please, long term and short term, I would never commit to buying myself a property! Much prefer the freedom of travel as have been to over 50 countries but not Turkey yet, I loved Greece when I was younger, Iam 68 now so am semi retired.
Hi Mick, we have been to dalaman for a couple of timea. we absolutely loved it. we were thinking of buying a property in Hisaranu or calis. Your info is so much help.

Hi mick amca I enjoyed stumble across your video on how simply you describe buying a property in turkey 🇹🇷 I'm canadian citizen i do speak some 🇹🇷 once I catch my chances of winning the jackpot I'll be heading to the paradise country as you mentioned, keep up the great work you do, 👍👍
Hi Mick, thanks for the info, I spoke to a agent called Joseph just around the corner from Bella Mamas last year regarding property. I think he was Iranian, I have his business card as I would like to buy in Fethiye one day. Keep posting the videos 👍
UAE good for no more than 1 week then you are done. Also way too expensive. Turkey is much better and much more beautiful nature wise. Also not to mention, Turkey is an open air history museum. Anywhere you go you will see traces of past civilizations. Hotels and restaurants are very affordable. Foreigners should consider Turkey for their travel plans and maybe settling in. 🇹🇷🌹🇹🇷🌹
I prefer traditional structure and nature to the skyscrapers' landscape. Besides, Turkey has a diverse landscape (oasis, lakes, canyons, beaches; mountains, forests as well as deserts), diverse and open culture and rich gastronomy.
Mick I don’t know why I found this video but glad I did. I always loved Turkey and wanted to visit maybe one day I will be lucky to own my own house there one day.
Hi uncle mick, when I live in İstanbul I was watching your videos then I moved to London. Now I am in quarantine and still watching your videos :) hope we meet in london or fethiye . Love to you and your wife
Nice one guys, just what we wanted to see and here. I think a further film and advice would help a lot of UK/Europeans buy property in the region. Many thanks.
Kirin Sama sounds like our governments propaganda effort is still on abroad while people are suffering from economy&human rights and our lira loosing its value. No, forget your dreams, this country is ruined and will be devastated if it will be governed by the same mentality till 2030. Don’t be too opinionated about a country unless you know a lot like mick Amcam
I'm with you on that Bahadir. Ten years ago we booked into a luxury hotel in your country. Speaking to several members of staff they disclosed the derisory pay and conditions they worked under. I thought that given time things might change - it obviously hasn't. Hopefully though in the near future the people of Turkey can turn it around.

Thanks mick,,,very informative,,hopefully I’ll be there in fetihye for my retirement,,this coming from a turk living in london,,live long and prosper..
fethiye is my favourite but it looks like it is a bit expensive for my blood This place for English people I will buy my Summer house either in Didim or in Izmir
Nice one, Mick Amca. Just straight to the point. Also just started a channel about all the beautiful sides of Istanbul and all this country but with my motorcycle :)
Also check out Turkish inheritance laws and correct land share under Condominion Law if buying on a complex. Get site fees in writing. Best not to buy but rent.
@@b2tfuture696 Generally, the shared gardens, pool, paths and roadways etc are supposed to be common and the site run by a manager, selected and supervised by a committee elected by the owners. Annual meetings of owners set site fees to cover security, gardening, pool and other maintenance. Your lawyer must check and confirm that your complex is fully compliant with this. If not, walk away as you will have no control and could be exploited. Some sites leave all this to the original developers who may or may not provide a good service at a fair price..You need to speak to some residents to see if they are happy with their situation.
@Bedroom EYES nation like me? I'm not either Arab or Turkish. I'm British Pakistani. But I won't hear people talk shit about my Turkish Muslim brothers and sisters.
I can't think of any good reasons to buy property in Turkey, look at the long term exchange rate there's only one way the lira goes - down! Long term renting is a wiser choice and if there are any issues you can at least cut your loses and get out. A friend of mine has lived in Kas for about 15 years and some of the stories regarding property deals he's told me you wouldn't believe!
Iam turkish u are 100% right. Its a risky investment we dont know what will happen in the future. Maybe the property prices will got up or it will be very cheap. Turkey is like a Rollercoaster right now
Moving to Turkey right now with this financial recession, Lira collapsing, dictatorship government with warmongering plans is a bad bad idea. So many civilized countries in the Mediterranean, why Turkey? Don't get fooled by the low prices, you'll get ripped off. Turks do not respect westerners.
@@mickandtrudie Turkey is not a European country, it's s a Middle Eastern country which boycotts French products, turns churches to mosques and supports terrorism in Europe.
@@mickandtrudie I know Turks who have lived there and they went to UK and Greece to escape the repressive regime, lack of rule of law and due to bad financial situation. Investing in Turkey's real estate is like burning your money in a barrel.
Hello, from Scottsdale Arizona USA. Thank you for doing this episode. We're thinking of buying something in Turkey and found it very informative and helpful. Perhaps you can provide the contact information for the individuals mentioned. Thank you for your videos.
@@turkkartal964 Thanks for coming back to me, The reason why I said Ankara is because of the international schools and also Islamic schools. I have young family. Am not sure if the coast offers this kind of facilities. Maybe get a holiday home close to the coast is not a bad idea. Turkey is rich in terms of history and I am interested to explore this country. Of course I don't not like crowded areas as well.
Guys, a tip, Fethiye is on an earthquake zone and you should be careful to buy an house at least built after 1999 or more, BUT that is my hometown and happy to see you all!
BUT although the city is on an earthquake zone, it is one of the most regulated cities in Turkey with building heights and other checks by the municipality.
Turkey is a earthquake zone , minor quake can cause a lot of structural damage . not sure insurance will cover any damage.Also older structure are not built to withstand earthquake & the building standard may be over looked
I read a few days ago that the housing glut is close to 2,000,000 new unsold units in Turkey, built with borrowed foreign money, and which is a heavy burden on many real estate co. because they are heavily in debts , no sales with many bankruptcies. .. and no relief in sight!
One way to avoid a scam is to finance the purchase with a reputable bank. They will be wise and prudent. As a partner in due diligence and proper documentation.
NOTE...this video is old and outdated. The process and fees are always changing. There is also a new policy also to not change currency into liras before signed off by official bank letter first. Then you can transfer to liras with bank only
Turkish citizens do not have to go to a real estate agent, but I am not sure about foreigners. If there is no such obligation, I would not recommend that you go, because you pay a commission of about 2% of the property you buy
You do not buy a property from a country just because it is cheap or people are friendly. You should check how reliable it's health system, how the future environmental changes ( -I strongly recommend you to read the articles about Kaz mountains or the deforestation in Fatsa area...alternatively just look at their before and after pictures -) that you have no power to influence would have an impact in the vicinity of your dream house, natural beauty does not come wıth immunity... but one thing I agree with Mick, do come and rent a property if you are serious...Renting a house for winter is half price of the summer in many seaside towns( w. furniture) and sun does not bake you in minutes, it is really a nice time to have a proper decision I should think...
I live in Uk London and as a Turkish citizen I can say, Turkey health system is one if the best in the world. Lots of very good private cheap hospitals and very good doctors. We are going to Turkey from London when we need. Better doctors and no waiting time.
1 Pound is equal to 10.3 Turkish Lira. If you invest 250 thousand dollars you can even get citizenship. It is so bad for Turkish people but for foreigners it is heaven. If you are thinking to buy house I think you should find a trustful Turkish friend so they can make bargain for you.
@@mickandtrudie nope I didn't mean that. I just wanted to make highlights of currency. Those people are rich Turkish ones but people come from abroad have average income.
@@mickandtrudie partly agree with you, however we have also seen many of price increasing samples in many different areas of Turkey due to the foreigners' buying like Kaş-Kalkan. Prices multipled 4x or 5x within the short time of period. You (all the people from abroad) are very welcome but this situation is the fact and affected us very badly. Best, and thanks to your effort.
Thankyou Mick. My family and I will be coming to turkey in the coming months. As first timers what places would you recommend for a young family of five. Keep up the great work. Also I what is the process to opening up a bank account?
Contemporary Australia is the richest per se country, after year 1980 , extreme selection processes have been applied , only extremely brainy engineers, architects can be selected to become citizen and employee of Australian governments. 3+1 one storey , 300 square meters villa in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney can be purchased at 3 million AUD, to 15 million AUD with many amenities nearby.
for those who wants to purchase property, the goverment (deed office) do escrow service between buyer and seller. so there is nothing can be fishy. it cost 180 turkish liras approximately 18 quid.
@@mickandtrudie hi mick amca. It's called "tapu aracılık hizmeti" For more info you can look up "tapu aracilik hizmeti yönetmeliği".. Tho it's not very popular due to turks love to tax avoid during sell and buy...
Hi Mick, thanks for posting this excellent and informative video! Am dreaming about buying an apartment and spoke to an estate agent based in Turkey who said that it's not necessary to use a lawyer to purchase in Turkey (as in the UK) and that they (the estate agent) can do some of the checks like ID/Passports (for buyer and seller), title deed checks. They also said the TAPU office will check for loans/debts outstanding on the property. Does this sound correct? Just wondering what your thoughts are on this? On separate note, I'm picking up east-midlands vibes in your accent - would I be far off in saying Nottingham/Derby?
I have seen so many property buying videos but yours is the best for what to look for. That will help alot to avoid scam. What it means by off plan property?
Wonderful video, great information. Mulga province and Fethiye city are wonderful to live in. Also, Antalya, Alanya, Kemer, and many other places. Alanya is slightly more vibrant city than Fethiye and has many Russians and Germans living in it. You could also check Avsalar, Manavgat, Side. All pieces of paradise.
@ams 15292 Alanya has it all and very nice modern facilities. The government main hospital there is very organized and they check you in right away and do a thorough checkup all for around 100-200TL (10 to 20 pounds). Schools are clean and good. Private schools are also available. Beaches are clean and crystal clear. Home and apartments are very affordable and cheaper slightly than Fethiye. Check on sahibinden.com and compare. This is a for sale by owner website, but real estate agents are using it as well. You can filter results by owner only if you want. Markets are plenty. There is one MALL in Alanya, but it has METRO and other super stores. Many people speak English and people are super friendly to foreigners. Also it is safe. Government Residency office is efficient and friendly. You will need to deal with them for your residency. So it helps to have an organized office. Much different than Istanbul where the immigration offices are crowded and it takes for ever to get a straight answer. Just do a search about ALANYA on Instagram, Pinterest and see the amazing place for yourself. In my opinion a much more affordable city than Fethiye and has more to offer in all aspects.
@@mickandtrudie I love Fethiye as well. Very nice city, beaches, and natural beauty. Most of all it is where Mick amca lives, which makes it even better.
@ams 15292 I'd recommend Antalya because it has a beautiful coastline and in the heart of the city lies the old town which was build around 200 bc and the city is basically a mixture between modern and ancient cultures combined the schools are nice there are multiple hospitals and Alanya is technically a town/district of Antalya so Antalya has all the facilities Alanya has and more oh and the worlds first ever parliament is located in the ancient city of Patara (8th century bc) so it's a great city for all purposes you can swim in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranian sea or go sightseeing
@ams 15292 plus there are multiple big malls and the most popular one is opposite of the airport it's common practice for tourists go to shopping if their flight gets delayed so it has all the facilities including a theater a movie theater a karting track tons of stores and a food court that has everything from a kumpir which is a jacked potato (can be made vegan) that you can add a myriad of toppings sauces and ingredients to traditional turkish food
Just subscribed to your channel (I don't know why even though I'm unemployed and broke.....😩😫). I'm dreaming of buying myself a house 🏠 anywhere in the world .
Mick - how can we connect? I am planning a trip to Turkey as we speak With a view to finding somewhere to settle but I don't know many people out there besides a couple investors. You sound like you know your stuff. 30 years is a long time. Let's talk...

Some sites leave all this to the original developers who may or may not provide a good service at a fair price..You need to speak to some residents to see if they are happy with their situation.
Hi i loved the way you say in Turkish "Tapu dairesi" i think your Turkish is awesome.
I love 💔 Turkeyyyyyy.
Me too and no more alcohol 🍵
@Bedroom EYES shut up hater
@Bedroom EYES nation like me? I'm not either Arab or Turkish. I'm British Pakistani. But I won't hear people talk shit about my Turkish Muslim brothers and sisters.
@Mel Dağ excuse you? I hope all Turks don't think the way you do. This is sad
@@mmoney1712 No, they don’t. They are very kind and sweet. ❤️
Always wanted to buy, thanks for the info
Amazing video thank you so much I am currently planning to buy a properly in turkey and this video given me a lot of useful information's
I love to live in Turkey it's culture and way of living ameen one day dream will come true
Thanks mick 👍🏽for addressing this subject as I did ask you about this last year 😉🧿
Be careful, you can get scammed. My parents got scammed couple of years ago and we are from Turkey.
@@mickandtrudie all the people who got scammed went to court but nothing happened.
I can't think of any good reasons to buy property in Turkey, look at the long term exchange rate there's only one way the lira goes - down! Long term renting is a wiser choice and if there are any issues you can at least cut your loses and get out. A friend of mine has lived in Kas for about 15 years and some of the stories regarding property deals he's told me you wouldn't believe!
Iam turkish u are 100% right. Its a risky investment we dont know what will happen in the future. Maybe the property prices will got up or it will be very cheap. Turkey is like a Rollercoaster right now
Moving to Turkey right now with this financial recession, Lira collapsing, dictatorship government with warmongering plans is a bad bad idea. So many civilized countries in the Mediterranean, why Turkey? Don't get fooled by the low prices, you'll get ripped off. Turks do not respect westerners.
@@mickandtrudie Turkey is not a European country, it's s a Middle Eastern country which boycotts French products, turns churches to mosques and supports terrorism in Europe.
@@mickandtrudie I know Turks who have lived there and they went to UK and Greece to escape the repressive regime, lack of rule of law and due to bad financial situation.
Investing in Turkey's real estate is like burning your money in a barrel.

You are on a wrong site mate, take your political issues elsewhere !!
i would love to know more about rental properties, so i can look at my own leisure for buying somewhere please Mick.
very informative, I am really curious about the cost of the health insurance.
Great video you gave some good clear information...i am trying to understand this whole process
Hello, from Scottsdale Arizona USA.
Thank you for doing this episode.
We're thinking of buying something in Turkey and found it very informative and helpful.
Perhaps you can provide the contact information for the individuals mentioned.
Thank you for your videos.
You want to buy a house in Turkey? During this period, house prices are very affordable and I think you should buy.
@ams 15292 There are very beautiful non-touristic coastal cities, especially on the Aegean coast.. Foça, Datça, Köyceğiz, Urla, Cunda Adası
@@turkkartal964 Thanks for your recommendation, What do you think about Ankara?
@@MrGengad Ankara is not a good choice for living. It is crowded and its climate is harsh and cold.. Choose coastal cities for a pleasant life
@@turkkartal964 Thanks for coming back to me, The reason why I said Ankara is because of the international schools and also Islamic schools. I have young family. Am not sure if the coast offers this kind of facilities. Maybe get a holiday home close to the coast is not a bad idea. Turkey is rich in terms of history and I am interested to explore this country. Of course I don't not like crowded areas as well.
Selam Mick. Türkçe altyazı harika oldu bizim için. Teşekkür ederiz.
Guys, a tip, Fethiye is on an earthquake zone and you should be careful to buy an house at least built after 1999 or more, BUT that is my hometown and happy to see you all!
BUT although the city is on an earthquake zone, it is one of the most regulated cities in Turkey with building heights and other checks by the municipality.
That was really interesting Thank you Mick
I bought house in dalaman beautiful
How much is the price in USD? Thanks
@@mohamedshagarai1370 you can find 1+1 for 20k usd
@@Hakerooo apartment ? What about a house?
Can you please give me the name of agency that you coordinated to buy the property in dalaman.
Awaiting for your reply.
tcader7@gmail.com
dalaman maybe a little away from the sea
ı prefer fethiye or marmaris
Turkey is a earthquake zone , minor quake can cause a lot of structural damage . not sure insurance will cover any damage.Also older structure are not built to withstand earthquake & the building standard may be over looked
Thanks for the information. I do love Turkey A lot
Love your videos. Cant wait to visit Turkey. From Oz
Great vid! Thanks for posting! I am looking into this nowadays and want to make sure I land on a nice property with a good future potential.
Hello Mick amca, glad to have known you...
What I would like to know is, what are the price ranges? for an average land and home
This has been so helpful. Thank you.
I read a few days ago that the housing glut is close to 2,000,000 new unsold units in Turkey, built with borrowed foreign money, and which is a heavy burden on many real estate co. because they are heavily in debts , no sales with many bankruptcies. .. and no relief in sight!
What an informative video, thanks nick
One way to avoid a scam is to finance the purchase with a reputable bank. They will be wise and prudent. As a partner in due diligence and proper documentation.
Very nice and informative. 🌼 🌻 🌻. Keep it going.
NOTE...this video is old and outdated. The process and fees are always changing. There is also a new policy also to not change currency into liras before signed off by official bank letter first. Then you can transfer to liras with bank only
Thanks Mick hope to buy and move to Turkey one day soon.
Turkish citizens do not have to go to a real estate agent, but I am not sure about foreigners. If there is no such obligation, I would not recommend that you go, because you pay a commission of about 2% of the property you buy
Simple and nice video good job 👌
Since I feel withdrawed from Eastern Europe , I feel released and refreshed in the middle east
Thnks mick that was very helpful information
You do not buy a property from a country just because it is cheap or people are friendly. You should check how reliable it's health system, how the future environmental changes ( -I strongly recommend you to read the articles about Kaz mountains or the deforestation in Fatsa area...alternatively just look at their before and after pictures -) that you have no power to influence would have an impact in the vicinity of your dream house, natural beauty does not come wıth immunity... but one thing I agree with Mick, do come and rent a property if you are serious...Renting a house for winter is half price of the summer in many seaside towns( w. furniture) and sun does not bake you in minutes, it is really a nice time to have a proper decision I should think...
Some good advice T.B Y. We always recommend renting in an area first 👍🏻
I live in Uk London and as a Turkish citizen I can say, Turkey health system is one if the best in the world. Lots of very good private cheap hospitals and very good doctors. We are going to Turkey from London when we need. Better doctors and no waiting time.

Quite helpful, thanks for the video.
I appreciate you a great deal.
1 Pound is equal to 10.3 Turkish Lira. If you invest 250 thousand dollars you can even get citizenship. It is so bad for Turkish people but for foreigners it is heaven. If you are thinking to buy house I think you should find a trustful Turkish friend so they can make bargain for you.
@@mickandtrudie nope I didn't mean that. I just wanted to make highlights of currency. Those people are rich Turkish ones but people come from abroad have average income.
@@mickandtrudie partly agree with you, however we have also seen many of price increasing samples in many different areas of Turkey due to the foreigners' buying like Kaş-Kalkan. Prices multipled 4x or 5x within the short time of period. You (all the people from abroad) are very welcome but this situation is the fact and affected us very badly. Best, and thanks to your effort.
mick you very lucky to live this paradise on the earth, viva turkey
Thankyou Mick.
My family and I will be coming to turkey in the coming months.
As first timers what places would you recommend for a young family of five.
Keep up the great work.
Also I what is the process to opening up a bank account?
Contemporary Australia is the richest per se country, after year 1980 , extreme selection processes have been applied , only extremely brainy engineers, architects can be selected to become citizen and employee of Australian governments. 3+1 one storey , 300 square meters villa in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney can be purchased at 3 million AUD, to 15 million AUD with many amenities nearby.
for those who wants to purchase property, the goverment (deed office) do escrow service between buyer and seller. so there is nothing can be fishy. it cost 180 turkish liras approximately 18 quid.
@@mickandtrudie hi mick amca.
It's called "tapu aracılık hizmeti"
For more info you can look up "tapu aracilik hizmeti yönetmeliği"..
Tho it's not very popular due to turks love to tax avoid during sell and buy...
@@b2tfuture696 hi there, it's called tapu aracılık hizmeti.
@@ertancetin2909 Thank you for your info :-) Where / Who can I provide this service (in Fethiye)??
Hi Mick, thanks for posting this excellent and informative video! Am dreaming about buying an apartment and spoke to an estate agent based in Turkey who said that it's not necessary to use a lawyer to purchase in Turkey (as in the UK) and that they (the estate agent) can do some of the checks like ID/Passports (for buyer and seller), title deed checks. They also said the TAPU office will check for loans/debts outstanding on the property. Does this sound correct? Just wondering what your thoughts are on this?
On separate note, I'm picking up east-midlands vibes in your accent - would I be far off in saying Nottingham/Derby?
I explained that you don’t have to get a lawyer, it’s a personal choice, but it’s recommended, I’m from Tamworth
thanks for the infos, and very nice city you show us on this video, I wonder the name of this beautiful place?
Stunning natural beauty!
Thanks Mick Amca greetings from Belgium im also interested in Fethiye
I have seen so many property buying videos but yours is the best for what to look for. That will help alot to avoid scam. What it means by off plan property?
Wonderful video, great information. Mulga province and Fethiye city are wonderful to live in. Also, Antalya, Alanya, Kemer, and many other places. Alanya is slightly more vibrant city than Fethiye and has many Russians and Germans living in it. You could also check Avsalar, Manavgat, Side. All pieces of paradise.
@ams 15292 Alanya has it all and very nice modern facilities. The government main hospital there is very organized and they check you in right away and do a thorough checkup all for around 100-200TL (10 to 20 pounds).
Schools are clean and good. Private schools are also available. Beaches are clean and crystal clear.
Home and apartments are very affordable and cheaper slightly than Fethiye. Check on sahibinden.com and compare. This is a for sale by owner website, but real estate agents are using it as well. You can filter results by owner only if you want.
Markets are plenty. There is one MALL in Alanya, but it has METRO and other super stores.
Many people speak English and people are super friendly to foreigners. Also it is safe.
Government Residency office is efficient and friendly. You will need to deal with them for your residency. So it helps to have an organized office. Much different than Istanbul where the immigration offices are crowded and it takes for ever to get a straight answer.
Just do a search about ALANYA on Instagram, Pinterest and see the amazing place for yourself.
In my opinion a much more affordable city than Fethiye and has more to offer in all aspects.
@@mickandtrudie I love Fethiye as well. Very nice city, beaches, and natural beauty. Most of all it is where Mick amca lives, which makes it even better.
@ams 15292 I'd recommend Antalya because it has a beautiful coastline and in the heart of the city lies the old town which was build around 200 bc and the city is basically a mixture between modern and ancient cultures combined the schools are nice there are multiple hospitals and Alanya is technically a town/district of Antalya so Antalya has all the facilities Alanya has and more oh and the worlds first ever parliament is located in the ancient city of Patara (8th century bc) so it's a great city for all purposes you can swim in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranian sea or go sightseeing
@ams 15292 plus there are multiple big malls and the most popular one is opposite of the airport it's common practice for tourists go to shopping if their flight gets delayed so it has all the facilities including a theater a movie theater a karting track tons of stores and a food court that has everything from a kumpir which is a jacked potato (can be made vegan) that you can add a myriad of toppings sauces and ingredients to traditional turkish food
Turkey is very stunning place in Europe to have fun and live in .
It’s not only in Europe. It’s between Europe and Asia
