It's easy to see why Turkey has become the destination of choice amongst British and international sun-seekers and investors. Surrounded by seas, the combination of urban centres, rural areas of exceptional beauty and over 8000 km of crisp sandy beaches makes Turkey a clear leader in overseas property investment.
Turkey is bordered on the south by the Mediterranean Sea, on the north by the Black Sea and on the 
west by the Aegean Sea and has a coastline of some 8,300km. On the Aegean side, the fertile soil, warm sunshine and plentiful moisture produces an abundance of wheat, oats, barley as well as grapes, olives and figs for export. The coast of the Black Sea is much colder, an on account of the narrowness of the valleys there is comparatively little arable land, but so fertile is the soil that many fruits are grown, while the mountains abound in forests of walnut, fir, beech and other woods. The southern coast below the Taurus Mountains is almost tropical in climate, and there olives, mulberries, pomegranates, figs, oranges and lemons are grown. There are large swamps and marshes and, in the centre of the country, salt lakes.
Over the past 15 years Turkey has become a major player in the tourism trade. With the opportunity to consider living abroad becoming more possible, Spain and Portugal have been lucrative markets for those choosing to retire in their vacation destinations. Property prices have skyrocketed with the increasing demand. New alternatives such as Romania and other Soviet Block countries are beginning to absorb some of the need for economical property ownership.
Turkey however has an extraordinary advantage, stemming from political, geographic and historical factors.
80 years of secular republic and 55 years of parliamentary democratic rule has provided the legal, economic social infrastructure that taking on such a role requires. The transportation, communication, banking and service industries are developed to European standards and foreign investments have penetrated to provide almost all brands and services available in Europe.
Geographically Turkey is surrounded on three sides by beaches and spectacular coastal mountain ranges. Vast areas are still unspoilt and building codes have kept coastal strips from turning into walls of high-rise concrete.
Historically Turkey is unsurpassed by any standard. It boasts the largest variety and oldest treasures of the ancient world.
Property prices are beginning to rise dramatically but still represent good value and offer great investment potential. Investing prior to the dramatic changes that the new marina will bring is strategically important.
The most striking feature which almost every visitor notices however, is the traditional hospitality and welcoming social atmosphere which embraces visitors from every country and culture. Crime rates are extremely low allowing families to feel secure and relaxed during their stay.
So, we here at Rami Properties welcome you to join the privileged guests who live the pleasure of experiencing the Turkish Riviera.
