Turkey becoming "popular" with investors

Turkey is becoming one of the most popular countries for those looking to invest in overseas property, it has been claimed.

Director of overseas homes portal Property Abroad Les Calvert explained that the new airports set to be built in the country are likely to further increase tourism numbers to destinations such as Antalya and Istanbul, with the former receiving eight million visitors so far in 2008.

"Turkey is understandably one of our most popular countries, both with holiday home buyers and investors," he remarked, adding that the new airports "will improve the accessibility and increase tourism numbers".

And those looking to purchase property in the country may wish to consider investing in off-plan builds, which, according to chief market analyst for Property Abroad Liam Bailey, can produce "immediate profits of 20 per cent" due to their relatively cheap prices.

Turkey's culture and tourism minister recently claimed that the country will have been visited by 25 million tourists by the end of 2008, including 2.3 million Britons.
