Prices in this region of Turkey have risen by around 10% in the last year and because Turkey is not in the “euro loop”, virtually unaffected by the current world monetary difficulties. As an English person who came out here fourteen years ago and fell in love with everything from the culture and its weather to its wonderful people, I can strongly recommend Turkey and anyone who wants to discuss any aspect of having a home out here is welcome to speak to me”.
