Luxurious nature, resorts and European quality service, pleasant atmosphere and unique flavor from year to year attract guests from all over the world to Turkey. Thanks to the loyalty of the government to foreign investors and the simplified scheme for buying real estate, the number of foreign buyers of square meters in Turkey is constantly increasing.
Investors purchase property for recreation, income from rent, resale or permanent residence. Foreign investors prefer different Turkish cities, where there is everything for a comfortable life. The Mediterranean resorts of Antalya and Alanya are especially popular. In our article, we will talk in detail how these two cities differ and whether it is better buying property in Antalya or Alanya.
Are Antalya and Alanya the same?
There is an opinion among foreigners that Antalya and Alanya are very similar resorts located on the Mediterranean coast. In fact, this is far from the case and they differ significantly from each other in many ways, whether it be lifestyle, real estate value, accommodation. To understand the issue, we first consider the main characteristics of cities.
- Antalya
Antalya is the most famous Turkish Mediterranean resort and the administrative centre of the province of the same name. Geographically it is located in the south of the state, in a beautiful bay surrounded by growing palm trees, coniferous and lemon trees. Around the metropolis are the Taurus Mountains, protecting it from winds and bad weather. Beautiful parks, alleys, beaches, clear sea water, favorable climate and ancient sights are at the service of the city’s guests.
In the city of Antalya, perhaps, one of the richest and most luxurious hotels on the coast is located, which has everything for tourists. In addition to recreation, foreigners from Europe, lovers of an active lifestyle and broad prospects in the implementation of their professional activities, buy real estate here.
- Alanya
Along with Antalya, one of the leading places among the popular tourist destinations in Turkey is Alanya. The city is located on the Mediterranean coast and belongs to the province of Antalya.
The beautiful nature and climate of Alanya, wide sandy and pebbly beaches of great length, the azure sea, a lot of greenery, a well-maintained promenade and harbor, lively avenues and measured life in residential areas give the resort town a unique charm.
Meanwhile, it is in the shopping districts of Alanya that you can feel the whole flavor and character of this oriental resort – the temperament and goodwill of the sellers, openness and human kindness, sociability and professional acumen. Thanks to its undeniable advantages, in just a matter of years, an ordinary fishing village has turned into a sought-after European-level resort.
Real estate value comparison
Of course, the cost of real estate in Alanya and Antalya is different. In Antalya, housing prices are higher and depend on the area, as well as the type of property.
In Alanya, in the amount of up to €60,000, you can find quite a lot of interesting options for liquid housing, both on the primary and secondary markets in a good area near the sea. Apartments in Mahmutlar, Oba, Kargicak, Kestel and others are considered popular among buyers. Regardless of the chosen location, the owners will enjoy fresh air and pleasant views from the windows.
The average cost per square meter of real estate in Alanya is €1000.
In Antalya, apartments in apartment buildings located in the centre are cheaper than in other parts of the city. In general, the atmosphere is favorable, but the noise level here is naturally higher, as is the building density. The air in the central part of the city is not as fresh as in Lara or Konyaalti, which, combined with other characteristics of accommodation, forms lower prices for apartments. The distance from the coast depends on the location. The cost of inexpensive apartments starts from €80,000.
The average price per square meter of real estate in Antalya is approximately €1,400, but, like in other regions of Turkey, it depends on the location and class of housing.
