If you want to buy an apartment in Antalya, Lara is the area that we highly recommend. This resort area is part of the Muratpaşa region and is a favourite vacation spot for residents, as well as tourists from all over Europe.

What are the advantages of buying an apartment in Antalya

Antalya is Turkey's most popular tourist municipality. The infrastructure was created for recreation and entertainment and is similar in quality to the Cote d'Azur: luxury hotels, gourmet restaurants, theatres and concert halls. In reviews, people who have been here have compared this region to the Riviera.

In addition to the mild subtropical climate, clean beaches and the warm Mediterranean Sea, several factors influence the decision to purchase real estate for permanent residence in this region:

• The opportunity to obtain Turkish citizenship after 5 years of having a permanent home in this country. A residence permit must be obtained after your visa has finished
• If you buy a property worth $4000,000 or more you are able to gain Turkish Citizenship.(June 2022 updated fig.)
• Numerous ex-pat communities exist in Antalya and nearby resort villages. There is many kindergartens and schools which teach in foreign languages.
• Developed urban infrastructure: high-speed autobahns, parking lots, supermarkets, banks, medical centres.
• Quality public services.
• Approval to buy more than one property.
• Kindliness towards foreigners.
• Proximity to the International Airport
• Rental oportunities. With many visitors attracted to Antalya, the rental market is extremely buoyant making your initial investment pay for itself very quickly.
