Think of buying a property in Turkey, and immediately destinations such as Oludeniz, Bodrum and Marmaris spring to mind. Traditional tourist destinations, where visitors have flocked in increasing numbers over the past few years. More recently however, there has been an increase in demand for larger properties situated away from the main resorts, as people look for their rural retreat. Peace and transquillity seem to be the key factors in peoples decision making process. On the back of this trend, there has been a considerable increase in demand for property in Hisaronu, the small resort located in the picturesque hillsides outside of Oludeniz.

Hisaronu offers an enticing mixture of stunning mountainside scenery, shops, bars and restaurants, whilst still allowing for access to the famous Oludeniz Lagoon, just a short bus ride away. Indeed, Hisaronu’s close proximity to the stunning blue waters of the Oludeniz beach have ensured its continuing popularity with the increasing numbers of tourist visitors to the region. Whilst offering access to the main beach via a short bus ride, the cooler climate in this beautiful Hillside resort has resulted in the town becoming an increasingly popular destination for nightime revellers, looking to escape the more intense heat found at sea level.

Although there has been some new development in the Hisaronu and Oludeniz region, the levels have been severely restricted due to the areas protected national park status. Subsequently, all new developments in the region are in considerable demand, resulting in sustained upward pressure on prices for property in Hisaronu and Oludeniz. Standards of construction throughout Turkey tend to be very high, and although due diligence should always be performed across all parties involved in the construction process, finished properties tend to be of a high standard thoughout.

Access to the resort at Hisaronu is usually via the superb new Dalaman International Airport, just over 50 minutes drive away. Previously a military airport, Dalaman has today become a hub for a large number of international, charter and low cost airlines looking to bring people into the region. Today, regular flights from Dalaman fly into around 20 airports throughout the UK on a regular basis. Subsequently, it is now possible to book return flights to Turkey from as little as £79.99 return.

The popular resort of Hisaronu is one of the most popular destinations on Turkey’s beautiful Aegean coast. Offering an enticing blend of superb beaches, shops, bars and restaurants, Hisaronu has proven an increasingly popular tourist destination over the past couple of years. Subsequently, there has been an increase in the demand for property in Hisaronu, as increasing supply continues to outweigh demand.

Following the recent opening of the superb new Dalaman International Airport, a number of low cost airlines have now announced a range of daily route into Dalaman, offering return flights from the UK as low as £79.99.  With the airport being located just under an hours drive from the major resorts of Hisaronu, Fethiye and Olu Deniz, it is likely that the entire Mugla region will see increased visitor figures in the coming years.

One of the key benefits of Hisaronu, is its close proximity to the superb beach at Olu Deniz, where the turquoise blue lagoon and golden sand beaches have appealed to large numbers of British tourists in recent years. A family orientated resort, the protected status surrounding the resort of Olu Deniz has resulted in a large number of visitors to the region basing themselves in the resort of Hisaronu, and taking the short bus ride down to the beaches for the day. At night however, the cooler climate on offer at Hisaronu (although only 10 minutes in a bus from Olu Deniz, Hisaronu is 1,500m above sea level) prove to be an appealing alternative to the warmer beach areas.

Similarly to Olu Deniz, the resort of Hisaronu has been afforded protection as part of the national park. As such, development is closely regulated ensuring all building work is of the highest standards, and is designed to be in keeping with the local environment. The increasing levels of regulation and restriction on building work have ensured that there remains a high level of demand for property in Hisaronu, whereas supply is restricted. As such, there is a consistent upwards pressure on prices in the Olu Deniz and Hisaronu regions, which look likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

Just over ten miles south of the town of Fethiye, on the beautiful south west coast of Turkey lies the popular resort of Olu Deniz. Hidden away by the imposing Taurus Mountains, this stunning resort has grown around the turquoise lagoon and golden sand beach for which it is so well known. Located in a steep sided valley, the outskirts of the resort are surrounded by beautiful pine forests, which cover the hillsides for many miles around.

Today, the resort of Olu Deniz is one of Turkey’s most popular tourist destinations, with large number of visitors coming to the region each year to enjoy the superb climate, fantastic cuisine and wide range of activities which can be found throughout the region. From spending a lazy day on the beach, through to the more active pursuits of scuba diving, paragliding and hiking, Olu Deniz has something to offer every budget and taste.

The recent increase in tourism in the region has inevitably resulted in a large number of people looking to purchase property in Olu Deniz and the surrounding areas. Boosted by the recent opening of the Dalaman International Airport (just under one hours drive), this demand for property in region shows no signs of slowing, and is currently viewed as one of Turkey’s most viable long term property investments. With low cost airlines offering increasing numbers of flights into the Dalaman region on a daily basis (you can now fly to Dalaman from the UK from just £99.00), it is likely that the numbers of visitors to the region will increase substantially throughout 2009.

Protected by its national park status, the majority of the development in the Olu Deniz region has tended to focus in the towns of Hisaranou and Ovacik, which are located further up the valley from the main resort. Public transport is available between the various resorts on a regular basis however (every 5-10 minutes throughout the day), and is regularly utilised by visitors to the area.

In recent years, there has been a sustained and increasing interest in the market for property in Turkey, as investors have looked for new opportunities away from the more traditional markets of Spain, France and Italy. So last week, a number of our property consultants visited the region to take a closer look at Fethiye and the surrounding areas of Olu Deniz, Calis Beach and Gocek.

Fethiye itself is located on the site of the ancient city of Telmessos, and throughout this quaint town small reminders of its rich heritage can be seen. Even just a short walk along the picturesque marina takes you past the ancient theatre. A walk along the nature trails which surround Fethiye will take you past many other interesting sites, such as the ancient Lycean tombs which can be found in the hillside overlooking the modern day town and waterfront.

In the past couple of years, Fethiye and the surrounding areas have seen considerable growth in the number of tourist visitors, and through the opening of the new Dalaman International Aiport, this trend looks set to continue in the years to come. Large numbers of visitors come to the region each year, and with flights from the UK now costing as little as £79.99, it is easy to see why so many people are preparing to travel to Turkey rather than the traditional Mediterranean destinations. The airport at Dalaman is served by flights from a large number of destinations in the UK including Manchester, Gatwick, Birmingham, Leeds-Bradford, Doncaster and many others.

The region of Fethiye is itself split up into a number of smaller towns and regions. These include the popular tourist resorts areas of:

• Fethiye Town
• Calis Beach
• Olu Deniz
• Uzumlu
• Gocek

Throughout these areas, the region manages to cater for a variety of different tastes and budgets, and people looking to purchase property in Fethiye would do well to visit the region to gain a better understanding of the markets available. The types of visitors vary considerably from the younger beach resorts, through to the affluent town Gocek, where the Turkish jetset park their super-yatchs on a regular basis.

We will be covering each of these destinations in detail on the blog, and on our main site at www.offplanworld.tv over the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you are considering purchasing a Fethiye property, you can also contact one of our property consultants on enquiries@offplanworld.tv. We would be happy to discuss the opportunities in greater detail with you.

Finally, we would also like to remind you that we are now able to offer inspection trips to Fethiye from just £99.00. Please contact us for further information on this.
