Bodrum Tipped As Turkey Hotspot

Bodrum Bodrum is being tipped as the next property hotspot for overseas buyers in Turkey as it is becoming an increasingly popular holiday resort, particularly among European tourists.

According to Dominic Whiting, the author of the Buying in Turkey property guide, Bodrum has become a "Mecca" for holidaymakers in Europe thanks to its warm Mediterranean climate and excellent mix of watersports, nightlife and delicious cuisine.

Improvements in infrastructure, ease of travel to and from the UK and the building of new hospitals and supermarkets means it is also popular among British expatriates

As a result there are plenty of opportunities in the real estate sector for buyers looking for both investment properties and buy to let, Mr Whiting told Estate Angels.

"Beyond the town itself, the Bodrum peninsular is ringed by a series of smaller, quite distinct resorts. There are good beaches and new marinas at Turgutreis and Yalikavak, with two new golf courses in the area too," he said.

Meanwhile the Turkish Daily News reports that the country’s government has announced the formation of a new Tourism Infrastructure Services Union in Bodrum to improve the infrastructure on the peninsula, which is likely to further boost opportunities for property investors.
