Turkey Campaigns for Foreign Buyers


Turkey has announced plans to issue permits of a year of residency to foreigners who buy property in the country, as part of a wider campaign of the Turkish government to attract more foreign owners. 

The law is a big change of the currently three months license allowed for foreigners. It would also make homes more attractive to buy for the Middle East and European nations who have not previously had a difficult time getting visas, according to local media. 

The new law makes "the easier, more streamlined, robust and inexpensive process," Julian Walker of Spot Blue Overseas Property, who specialize in real estate in Turkey, told World Property Channel. "It's good news for Turkey, making the most transparent and clarified in advance to Turkish owners situation." 

As the global real estate market recovers from the recession, Turkey has attracted increasing interest from investors. He grew price 10.5 percent in 2012, the fourth largest increase in the rate of global house price for 2012 Knight Frank Globally, Turkey fell behind only Brazil, Dubai, and Hong Kong, and fixed the strongest growth in Europe. 

The final decision to add the changes to law already in force aimed at making it easier for foreigners to invest in properties. 
   
Last year, Turkey took a law of reciprocity as working to attract $ 10 billion a year in property investments. 

Travel in and out of Turkey also made it easier for owners of second homes and holiday travelers with the introduction of a system of electronic visas this month, according to a statement from Overseas Guides Company.

Iztuzu Beach an ideal place for turtles



Today we travel to Turkey to show another of the best beaches in Europe in 2014, according to the awards given each year by the travel website TripAdvisor, considering the opinions of its users. We refer to Iztuzu Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches you've never seen.

As you can see yourself, it is a land strip of fine white sand that forms a natural barrier between Daylan Delta River and the Mediterranean Sea. As you can imagine, it is a paradise where you will enjoy a unique beauty. 

Iztuzu Beach is located in southwestern Turkey, this beach 5 kilometers in length, has the peculiarity of having salt water on one side and fresh water on the other. Despite being so close, both sides have very different characteristics. 



But beyond its undeniable beauty, this beach is important as one of the main centers of breeding loggerhead sea turtles, especially the loggerhead turtles, endangered. Because of this, from the late 80s, Iztuzu Beach is considered as a Special Environmental Protection. Thus, the government of Turkey has established security measures to protect these animals, people can not place hammocks on the nesting grounds, they can not dig holes, they can not use speedboats within a mile around the beach.
