An alluring mix of romance and charm with a hint of the East; Turkey is a magical place. Having the friendliest, most generous people, a backdrop of beautiful unspoilt beaches, mountain landscapes and unique historical sites topped off with a low cost of living – it’s very hard to beat.

Turkey is also one of Europe’s hippest destinations with sophisticated modern resorts and cosmopolitan cities where you can shop for the latest designer goods, feast on delicious gourmet food in a top class restaurant and dance the night away in an exclusive nightclub.

When you just want to chill out, the long summers - in some areas as long as 8 months, make this the perfect place to chase away the chills as you play more golf or start each day with an early morning splash about in the warm, sparkling waters of the Med or Aegean Sea.

Time to invest

It’s no wonder the Turkish tourist industry is booming and with its upcoming EU membership, cheap cost of living and increasing numbers of bargain flights, now is the ideal time to make that well-chosen property investment. And, with direct flights from Johannesburg, it’s much closer than you think.
