Your choice should depend on your goals:
- For permanent living: proximity to schools, medical facilities, and transport connections is essential.
- For holidays: focus on properties close to the sea, with good infrastructure and amenities.
- For investment: prioritize properties with high liquidity and rental potential.
Regardless of your purpose, property ownership in Turkey is fully legal for foreigners and can be passed on to heirs.

The registration process includes:

Each step is straightforward and legally protected. Learn more about the buying process [link to process page].
