Four main expat rental zones — each with different price levels, atmosphere, and tenant community.
Konyaaltı
Beachside — most popular expat rental zone
The #1 area for foreign renters in Antalya. Modern apartment complexes along the beachfront road, English-speaking neighbours, and access to Konyaaltı beach and promenade. Furnished apartments are widely available, making it ideal for new arrivals who are not yet ready to furnish.

How to Rent an Apartment in Antalya
Decide on furnished vs. unfurnished
Furnished apartments are 20–40% more expensive but eliminate the need to buy furniture on arrival. Most short-term and expat-targeted apartments are furnished.
Choose a district
Konyaaltı for beach lifestyle; Muratpaşa for city living and value; Lara for premium; Hurma for Arabic community. Visiting each area before committing is strongly recommended.
Find an apartment (online or via agent)
Sahibinden.com is Turkey's main property portal. Expat Facebook groups for Antalya also list apartments. Several agencies specialise in expat rental. Request to view in person before paying any holding fee.
Negotiate rent and lease terms
Turkish landlords often want 12-month minimum. For expats, 6-month leases are possible but less common. Short-term furnished rentals may require only 1-month notice. Agree payment currency (TRY or EUR) upfront.
Sign a rental contract
Turkish rental contracts should be in Turkish. Have a Turkish-speaking friend or agent review it. Key terms: rent amount, deposit amount, notice period, and any permitted rent increase clause.
Pay deposit and first month
Deposit is legally capped at 3 months' rent. Common practice is 1–2 months. Get a receipt for all payments. Deposit must be returned within 15 days of the lease ending if no damage.
Register your address
To apply for a residence permit, you need to register your Turkish address. Your rental contract and landlord's consent are required for this process.
Renter Checklist Before Signing
Visit the apartment in person before signing anything — photos online are often misleading
Check mobile signal and internet speed in the specific apartment (not just the area)
Test all appliances, taps, showers, and air conditioning before signing
Confirm what is included in rent: water, internet, aidat (building maintenance fee)
Verify the aidat amount — some complexes charge ₺2,000–₺5,000+/month extra
Ask about heating — many Antalya apartments have no central heating; check air-con for winter use
Get the landlord's contact details and establish how maintenance issues will be handled
Ensure you get official receipts for rent and deposit payments
Antalya Rental Market Trends 2026
Expat rental demand
Growing expat community in Antalya is keeping vacancy rates low in Konyaaltı and Lara — particularly for furnished apartments
Rent levels in TRY
Turkish inflation continues to push TRY-denominated rents upward — expats with EUR income benefit as EUR buys more TRY each year
Furnished apartment supply
Large new complexes in Konyaaltı and Lara are increasingly built and furnished for the expat rental market
Short-term rental alternatives
Holiday let licensing requirements have reduced some short-term rental options — verify licence status for short stays
EUR-denominated rents
Some landlords in Konyaaltı and Lara quote rents in EUR — this protects them from TRY depreciation and can increase expatriate costs over time
Long-term rental security
Turkish tenant law provides strong protections after 12 months — annual rent increases are legally capped at the PPI rate

Renting in Antalya — FAQs
How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Antalya?
As of mid-2026, a furnished 1+1 in Konyaaltı costs approximately ₺16,000–₺28,000/month (€480–€840). A 2+1 in the city centre runs ₺17,000–₺30,000/month unfurnished. Prices in TRY continue to rise with inflation, but the EUR equivalent has stabilised or decreased as TRY depreciates.
Can I rent an apartment in Antalya without a Turkish residence permit?
Yes — you can rent an apartment in Antalya on a tourist visa or without any permit. However, having a rental contract is usually required to apply for a residence permit. The landlord must provide consent for you to register your address.
What is the minimum rental period in Antalya?
Officially, Turkish residential leases have no minimum. In practice, landlords typically want 6–12 month leases for unfurnished apartments. Furnished apartments and expat-targeted complexes often offer 3–6 month minimum stays. Short-term (daily/weekly) rentals are available in holiday-let licensed complexes.
Is Konyaaltı or city centre cheaper to rent?
City centre (Muratpaşa) is consistently 20–30% cheaper than Konyaaltı for comparable sized apartments. Konyaaltı commands a premium for the beach access and expat-friendly environment. For the best value, Kepez or Hurma are 30–40% below Konyaaltı.
Can I negotiate rent in Antalya?
Yes — especially in slower months (November–March). Landlords of high-spec furnished complexes may be more rigid. Longer lease commitments and upfront multi-month payment can often result in 5–15% rent discounts. Always try to negotiate before signing.
What utilities are typically included in rent?
Antalya rental contracts rarely include utilities. Expect to pay separately for electricity, water, natural gas (if available), and internet. Some complexes include water and internet in the monthly aidat. Always clarify what is included before signing.
How do I find an apartment to rent in Antalya?
Sahibinden.com is Turkey's largest property portal with thousands of Antalya listings. Facebook groups (Expats in Antalya, Antalya Expat Rentals) are very active. Estate agents specialising in expat rentals are available in Konyaaltı. Walking the area and looking for kiralık (for rent) signs also works.
What documents do I need to rent an apartment in Antalya?
Typically: passport copy, a local reference or contact number, and proof of ability to pay (bank statement or income evidence). Some landlords require a Turkish guarantor for foreigners without income in Turkey. Furnished expat apartments rarely require a guarantor.
