Area by buyer purpose
Which area is right for your goals?
Holiday investment (short-term rental)
Konyaaltı, Alanya, Lara
Highest short-term rental yields driven by tourist demand. Konyaaltı and Alanya have the best combination of beach proximity and off-plan availability.
Permanent home (year-round living)
Lara, Muratpaşa, Konyaaltı
City infrastructure, good private hospitals, international schools, and airport access. Lara and Konyaaltı have the beach without sacrificing services.
Retirement
Alanya, Konyaaltı, Side
Affordable, beach-accessible, established expat communities. Alanya is particularly popular with Scandinavian retirees due to its lower costs.
Capital growth potential
Konyaaltı, Lara, Kaş
Konyaaltı and Lara have limited new beachfront land — scarcity drives appreciation. Kaş is boutique and relatively undersupplied.
Budget purchase (entry price)
Kepez, Döşemealtı, Alanya
Alanya offers the best combination of low entry price and rental yield. Kepez and Döşemealtı are purely budget with no rental market.
Citizenship by investment
Konyaaltı, Alanya, Lara
Active off-plan market with BDDK-appraised projects regularly at or near the $400k USD threshold. Developers familiar with citizenship documentation.

Off-plan buying guide
What to know before buying off-plan in Antalya.
Stage payments
Typical off-plan payment structures in Antalya are 30% deposit, 40% during construction, 30% on completion.
Completion timeline
Most Antalya off-plan projects complete in 18–36 months. Ask for the tapu (title deed) handover date in writing.
Developer vetting
Check the developer's completed project history. Ask to visit previous projects. Verify VAT registration and construction licence (inşaat ruhsatı).
Appreciation during build
Properties in Konyaaltı and Alanya have historically appreciated 15–30% from off-plan price to completion, rewarding early buyers.
Currency risk
Most Antalya off-plan prices are quoted in EUR. If paying from GBP or USD, hedge your exposure — exchange rate moves during a 2-year build can be significant.
Investment comparison
Rental Yield by District
Gross rental yields based on average purchase prices and peak-season rental rates. Short-term yields are calculated for approximately 5-month peak rental season; long-term yields assume 12-month occupancy.
| District | Avg 1BR Purchase | Monthly Short-term (peak) | Monthly Long-term | Gross Short-term Yield | Gross Long-term Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Konyaaltı | €120k | €2,200/month | €550/month | 22% gross (peak) | 5.5% |

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Antalya district has the highest property prices?
Kaş commands the highest prices at €1,500–3,500/m² due to its luxury boutique positioning and limited supply. Konyaaltı beachfront and Lara are also premium, at €1,500–3,200/m². Kaş appeals primarily to high-net-worth buyers seeking exclusivity; Konyaaltı and Lara offer more liquidity and rental demand.
Which Antalya district is cheapest to buy property in?
Kepez is the cheapest at €800–1,700/m², followed by Döşemealtı at €900–1,800/m². Both are inland, away from beaches, with limited expat communities and minimal short-term rental demand. They appeal primarily to Turkish locals and budget-conscious foreigners seeking residency or citizenship qualification.
What is the average price per square metre in Konyaaltı?
Konyaaltı ranges €1,400–3,000/m² depending on proximity to the beach and building amenities. Beachfront and newly built luxury developments command the higher end; older properties and those further from the seafront sit at the lower end. Premium beachfront luxury can exceed €3,500/m².
Is Alanya part of Antalya province?
Yes. Alanya is a district (ilçe) within Antalya province, located approximately 135 km southeast of Antalya city. While administratively part of Antalya, Alanya functions as a distinct market with lower prices (€600–1,200/m²) and exceptionally high rental yields (9–15%), making it attractive to budget-conscious holiday investors.
What rental yield can I expect in Antalya?
Short-term yields range from 4–15% gross annually depending on district and season. Konyaaltı and Alanya lead at 8–15%; Belek and Side average 6–11%; Muratpaşa averages only 4–6% due to weak short-term demand. Long-term yields are typically 4–7% gross. Always account for management fees (20–30% of rental income), maintenance, and vacancy.
Is it a good time to buy property in Antalya?
The Antalya market remains strong for foreign buyers in 2026. Prices have stabilized after 2022–2023 volatility; off-plan inventory is healthy. For short-term rental investors, Alanya and Konyaaltı remain solid. For long-term appreciation, Lara and Konyaaltı offer scarcity value. Currency-wise, buying in EUR hedges against lira depreciation.
How much does a 1-bedroom apartment cost in Konyaaltı?
A modern 1-bedroom apartment in Konyaaltı averages €120,000–180,000 for resale, or €110,000–160,000 for off-plan, depending on beach proximity, age, and amenities. New-build luxury properties with sea views can exceed €250,000. Budget-friendly apartments further from the beach start at €90,000.
What are the best areas for holiday rentals in Antalya?
Konyaaltı, Alanya, and Lara are optimal for holiday rentals due to established tourism infrastructure, high seasonal demand, and strong English-speaking services. Side, Belek, and Kemer are secondary choices with decent yields but fewer management companies. Avoid Kepez, Döşemealtı, and Muratpaşa for holiday rentals.
Can foreigners buy property in all Antalya districts?
Yes, foreigners can purchase property in any Antalya district without restriction (as of 2026). However, you cannot own property within 3 km of military or strategic installations. Most districts have no restrictions. Always hire a lawyer to verify title and boundaries before purchase.
How much does off-plan property cost in Antalya?
Off-plan prices are typically 10–20% below what completed properties command in the same area. A Konyaaltı 1-bedroom off-plan might be €100,000–130,000 vs. €130,000–160,000 for resale. Payment is staged: 30% deposit, 40% during construction, 30% on completion over 18–36 months.
What are the total costs of buying property in Antalya?
Budget 8–12% above the purchase price for all closing costs. A €100,000 purchase incurs €8,000–12,000 in tapu fees (4%), notary (€200–500), lawyer (€1,000–2,500), valuation (€400–1,200), and agent commission (2–3%). VAT applies only to new builds and adds 1–18% depending on property size.
Is Kepez a good investment area?
Kepez is not ideal for investment. At €800–1,700/m², it is cheap for Turkish citizenship qualification or permanent residence, but lacks rental income potential or capital appreciation. It appeals to those seeking residency rather than returns. For investment, Alanya, Konyaaltı, and Lara are far superior.
How does Antalya compare to Bodrum for property investment?
Bodrum (€2,500–8,000/m²) is 2–3× more expensive than Antalya (€1,400–3,000/m²) and yields are lower (6–10% vs. 8–14%). Bodrum attracts ultra-luxury and British buyers; Antalya attracts volume foreign buyers seeking better value. Antalya offers stronger capital appreciation potential and rental yields for the price.
What is the Turkish citizenship by investment threshold?
Turkish citizenship requires a property purchase of $400,000 USD (approximately €370,000–380,000 at mid-2026 rates) held for 3 years. Konyaaltı, Alanya, and Lara have abundant BDDK-appraised projects in this range. Processing takes 6–12 months after purchase. A lawyer experienced in citizenship applications is essential.
What should I check before buying off-plan in Antalya?
Verify the developer's track record and completed projects. Confirm the construction license (inşaat ruhsatı) and VAT registration. Request a written tapu (title deed) handover date and payment schedule in your contract. Consider currency hedging if your income is not in EUR. Inspect a similar completed building by the same developer before committing.
