For a variety of reasons, Spain may not be everyone's chosen holiday destination or the country they would chose to invest,live or retire. This section covers some of the other popular expat destinations.
Turkey
Good capital appreciation, fabulous natural resources and beaches, and a booming tourist industry - indications show that buying property in Turkey is an excellent option for those looking for a holiday home, or an investment property. Our property for sale covers 14 regions and spans two superb coastlines – The Aegean & the Mediterranean - offering 'bargain’ property from 25,000€ in a currently prosperous and sustainable market.
Foreign buyers are welcome in Turkey, which given its diversity can provide something for everyone. Now entering a time of substantial growth, high returns are expected for early property investors who, by bringing money into the country, will produce a higher standard of living, better infrastructure and a thriving economy, hence increasing property values.
Turkey’s potential for growth has no limit and with the government making economical, political and social improvements ready for its proposed entry into the European Union alongside massive funding for new infrastructure including roads and airports, coupled with developing resorts, hotels, golf courses and other facilities aimed at tourists, the property market is currently thriving. Turkey is no longer seen as purely a top holiday destination, but also as an excellent place for a permanent home, and at present Turkey remains one of the few Mediterranean destinations where you can still buy property at a very reasonable price.
With the recent advent of mortgages, the property market has become more accessible for foreigners and buying property in Turkey has never been easier. This turn in economy will inevitably push property prices up in the near future, but at present Turkey remains one of the few Mediterranean destinations where you can still buy property at very reasonable prices.

Cyprus
Cyprus is another country which for many years has welcomed British (especially) expats and retirees. What has happened over the past few years has been quite spectacular with massive capital growth and land/property prices in some cases doubling within 12 months. How much that can continue is anyone's guess but there are some impressive improvements to the infrastructure to encourage continued inward investment. There is an expanded airport under construction at Larnaca which should handle 7,5 million passengers by next year and new harbours - one of which will be able to accommodate the largest cruise liners in the world. English is spoken widely and there is a long association between the UK and the island. History is everywhere on Cyprus and with the tensions between Greece and Turkey thankfully calmed, it looks like a country that will continue to attract interest. For more details please click here.
