Antalya property prices in 2026

Antalya remains excellent value versus Istanbul. Modern one-bedroom apartments start near $120,000, two-bedroom family homes range $150,000–$250,000, and luxury villas with private pools begin around $350,000. Alanya offers the lowest entry points on the coast.

Rental yields and holiday income

Antalya's tourism economy drives high summer occupancy. Holiday-let owners can earn strong seasonal income from June to September, while year-round expat and student tenants provide stability. Gross yields commonly run 5–7%, and our rental management team can handle bookings and upkeep for you.

Antalya for retirees and lifestyle buyers

With a mild winter climate, excellent private healthcare and a relaxed pace, Antalya is one of Europe's most popular retirement destinations. Konyaaltı and Lara are particularly favoured for their flat, walkable seafronts and modern amenities.

Citizenship and the buying process

Properties valued at $400,000 or more in Antalya qualify for Turkish citizenship by investment. Our team manages valuation, due diligence and the title deed (TAPU) transfer remotely, so you can buy securely from abroad.

Antalya vs Istanbul: which should you choose?

Choose Antalya for sea-and-sun lifestyle, lower prices and holiday-rental income; choose Istanbul for the deepest, most liquid market and the highest long-term capital growth. Many investors hold both for balance.

Lara vs Konyaaltı: which beach district is right for you?

These are Antalya's two flagship coastal districts, and buyers often weigh them against each other. Lara, east of the centre, is known for luxury beachfront residences, five-star hotels and a long sandy beach — it attracts premium buyers and strong holiday-rental demand. Konyaaltı, to the west, offers a dramatic pebble beach backed by the Taurus Mountains, a flatter and very walkable layout, and excellent value for families. As a rule, Lara leans luxury and rental yield, while Konyaaltı leans lifestyle and everyday living.

The Antalya buying timeline

For international buyers, a typical Antalya purchase runs as follows: shortlist and view (1–2 days, in person or by video), reserve with a deposit, legal due diligence and valuation (about 1–2 weeks), then the title-deed transfer at the Land Registry. With a power of attorney, the whole process can be completed without you being in Turkey, and citizenship applications add roughly 4–8 months on top.

Costs and taxes when buying in Antalya

Budget around 4% title-deed transfer tax plus legal, valuation and translation fees — typically 5–8% of the price in total. Annual property taxes in Turkey are low, and there is no capital gains tax after five years of ownership, which makes Antalya attractive for long-term holders and retirees alike.

Who buys in Antalya?

Antalya draws a diverse international crowd: European retirees seeking winter sun, families wanting a holiday base, and investors targeting holiday-rental income or citizenship-eligible homes. Its large established expat community and English-speaking services make it one of the easiest places in Turkey for foreigners to settle.
