Fethiye Property Investment – New Opportunities in Ancient Turkey

Situated on the site of the ancient city of Telmessos, modern day Fethiye is an intoxicating mix of classical architecture and modern day convenience. Located in the beautiful Mugla region of Turkey, Fethiye is today one of Turkey’s most popular tourist destinations, attracting large number of visitors each year from the UK and the rest of Europe.

As with the majority of the southern coastline of Turkey, the region offers stunning mountain scenery and superb beaches, which are home to a wide array of watersports and activities. All along this coastline, ancient ruins can be found, testimony to the rich heritage and culture of this part of Turkey.

One of the key factors in Fethiye’s success in attracting such a large number of visitors to the region, is the sheer diversity of its offering. A region with something to offer visitors of all ages and budgets, Fethiye has something to offer everyone. For beach lovers, the towns of Olu Deniz and Calis Beach are a must, as picturesque scenery surrounds the long white beaches which are so typical of the area. For those seeking a more cultural adventure, the old towns of Fethiye and Gocek have plenty to offer, with a range of traditional shops and restaurants located within the old market town area.

The volumes and diversity of visitors to the region have resulted in an increased level of interest in property in Fethiye. In particular, overseas investors have been keen to identify new opportunities away from the more traditional markets such as Spain and Eastern Europe. These factors, coupled with the low cost of living throughout Turkey, have resulted in an increased investment opportunity in the past couple of years.

Today, property in Fethiye is becoming increasingly sought after, as investors look to capitalise on the opportunities throughout the region. On the back of this increase in demand for real estate, a number of high quality developments have been announced in recent times in the surrounding regions of Uzumlu and Hisaranou. These areas have the benefit of being located just a few minutes away from the busy beach front areas, but offer the peace and tranquillity that so many residents require. 

As well as the numerous off-plan developments which are currently under construction, a number of the major developers in the region offer more bespoke Land and Build solutions, allowing clients to choose the design and locations of their dream villa. This solution is proving increasingly popular with people looking to purchase property in Turkey, as their involvement in the early construction stages allows for a far greater input on the overall design of the building.

Building throughout the region is of a particularly high standard, and whilst the due diligence process should always be rigorously pursued on any developer, the vast majority of the developments in the region have been built and finished to an exceptionally high standard.

If you are considering buying a property in Turkey, Fethiye is certainly worthy of consideration. The sheer beauty of the region, coupled with its diverse offering have ensured that an increasing number of tourists have visited the region in the past couple of years. With the current economic climate promoting destinations and properties outside of the Euro zone, it is likely that this trend will continue for the foreseeable future.
