• Konyaalti: Located slightly west of the centre. It is a new area with sea and mountain views.

Active development and expansion of the district allow you to find more affordable premises in new buildings. Among the attractions, there is an excellent municipal beach which has been awarded a Blue Flag for cleanliness, a public swimming pool, several gyms, shopping centres, restaurants and bars. 
• Center and Old Town:  Real estate here is mainly offered in projects of historical value, and low-rise residential buildings. Tourists love the narrow streets, ramparts, ancient temples. Traditional Button Houses of the 13th-15th centuries are especially popular, but their price starts from 800 thousand dollars and rarely come on the market. 

From May to November, clear weather prevails during the dry season, and rain occurs during the rest of the year, generally 60 days of rain a year. The swimming season begins in June and ends at the end of October.

• Lara: This is the most popular area in the city's eastern part, with a high building density. Business activities are undertaken in the town, so there are many offices, large companies and departments in this area. In Lara, premises generally are bought for business purposes. Lara beach is a stunning 12 km of Blue Flag beaches with hotels dotted along the coastline. Many café bars and restaurants operate on Lara Beach, offering takeaway service to apartments and villas. Prices here are in line with the rest of the region. 
• Ishiklar: The cost of apartments here is on average 15-20% lower than in Lara; the infrastructure is also well developed and has a range of well-kept parks. The houses are generally older (between 5 & 10 years). Because of bustling traffic and air pollution, there are few tourists in Ishiklar. Still, the area is suitable for a comfortable lifestyle (it is essential to source high-quality sound insulation). 
• Kundu: Located 25 km east of the central part of the city. There are enough modern residential complexes and hotels focused on seasonal vacations. Among the expensive hotels "Venice", "Titanic", "Mardan" and others there are small hostels which are no less popular among tourists.
