The Aegean coast has for long been popular, and the west facing coast enjoys plenty of sunshine.

The amenities available in Turkey are as good as any other Mediterranean destination, and the prices of both the cost of living and the property itself in Turkey enable many people to sell their own property, ‘back home’, for considerably more than a superior property in Turkey and end up with a Mediterranean lifestyle. No wonder many people are doing this.
