For international investors Turkey has become a first-choice destination. Direct flights from most European capitals take 3–4 hours, the banking system works with non-residents and a deal closes within 2–4 weeks.

Budget apartments are available in Mersin and Trabzon — from €55,000 for a studio and €65,000 for a 1+1. The premium segment is concentrated in Bodrum and central Istanbul, where villas with pools and Bosphorus views cost from €1 million.

The investor citizenship program requires $400,000 in property, a notarised non-sale pledge and 3–6 months of processing. A short-term residence permit (ikamet) is granted on any property purchase regardless of value.

Infrastructure in resort regions includes international schools, private clinics, European-level restaurants and supermarkets. In Alanya, Antalya and Istanbul English-speaking and Russian-speaking environments are well established.
