Turkey is a boom area for investment property and with its diverse culture and long hot summers the country makes an ideal holiday getaway. The demand for summer rental property continues to rise, especially in areas such as Bodrum and Altinkum which enjoy direct charter flights from many major UK airports during the summer months. New build developments and renovated traditional properties are expected to prove good long-term investments, in addition to good rental returns, as Turkey prepares for accession to the European Union.
