Antalya Property
From affordable Kepez to premium seafront Konyaaltı — current price per m² across all major Antalya areas, rental yields, and what your budget realistically buys.
Prices by area
Prices are EUR-denominated and reflect 2026 market conditions. Significant variance exists within each area based on floor level, sea view, complex quality, and building age.

| Lara — seafront | Upmarket beach | €1,800–2,800 |
| Lara — 1–2 km inland | Residential | €1,200–2,000 |

| Döşemealtı | Suburban/green | €800–1,400 |
| New developments (various) | Off-plan/new build | €1,000–2,200 |
Budget guide
Realistic options for each price band in 2026. Prices are for fully completed, ready-to-move properties unless noted.
Kepez
Studio apartment or very small 1-bedroom in an older building. Functional, affordable. Rental income potential ~€250–350/month.
Döşemealtı
Small 1-bedroom in a newer residential block. Good for long-term tenant rental.
Off-plan outer areas
Some entry-level developer units start here. Check legal status and completion risk carefully.
Konyaaltı (inland)
Well-maintained 1-bedroom in a complex with pool. The classic Antalya foreign buyer entry point.
Lara (inland)
Standard 1-bedroom in a Russian-market development. Pool, gym, communal gardens. Good rental potential.
Kepez / Döşemealtı
Spacious 2-bedroom apartment with parking. Much more space for the budget, but less prestige.
Konyaaltı seafront
Good 1-bedroom or smaller 2-bedroom with partial sea views. Top holiday rental location.
Lara seafront
Quality 2-bedroom in a well-run complex. Strong summer rental yields, excellent lifestyle.
Kaleiçi
Characterful 1-bedroom in a restored Ottoman building. Boutique hotel-quality short-term rental potential.
Konyaaltı seafront
Premium penthouse or villa apartment with direct sea view. Qualifies for citizenship by investment.
Lara premium developments
Spacious 3-bedroom in a luxury complex. Top-end Antalya lifestyle, strong international tenant demand.
Kaleiçi boutique
Entire renovated townhouse for rental income or personal villa. Unique asset with strong short-term rental income.
Why Antalya?
Coastal apartments in Konyaaltı and Lara can achieve 8–12% gross yield through summer short-term rental. Even with seasonal void periods, net yields of 5–7% are realistic — far above anything available in Western Europe.
300+ sun days per year, Mediterranean beaches, world-class restaurants, and direct flights from most of Europe. Antalya delivers a full Mediterranean lifestyle at a fraction of Spanish or Portuguese costs.
A single property purchase of USD$400,000 or more qualifies for Turkish citizenship by investment. Some buyers stack Antalya purchases across multiple properties to reach the threshold.
Large established communities of Russians, Germans, Dutch, and British expats in Konyaaltı and Lara mean English and Russian are widely spoken by agents, lawyers, and services.
Antalya has Turkey's largest charter airport, a modern tram system, excellent hospitals including private international clinics, and a growing expat services ecosystem.
Unlike Istanbul where central stock can be aged, Antalya has enormous supply of 2010s–2020s build complexes with pools, gyms, and gardens. Good quality is achievable at mid-range prices.
Rental investment
Gross yields before property management fees (typically 15–25% of rental income), maintenance, and vacancy. Short-term rental requires active management or a management company.
| Area | Short-term yield | Long-term yield |
|---|---|---|
| Konyaaltı seafront | 8–12% | 5–7% |
| Lara seafront | 7–10% | 4–6% |
| Kaleiçi (Old Town) | 10–15% | 5–8% |
| Konyaaltı / Lara inland | 5–8% | 5–7% |
| Kepez / Döşemealtı | 3–5% | 6–9% |

2020: Pre-pandemic baseline. Konyaaltı seafront ~€1,200/m², Kepez ~€450/m².
2022: Post-Ukraine surge in Russian buyers. Coastal prices +30–40% in EUR terms within 18 months.
2023–2024: Sustained demand from Russian, Gulf, and European buyers. Prices plateaued at elevated levels.
2026: Market steady. High supply of new builds competing for buyers keeps outer area prices in check. Seafront and Old Town hold value best.
Antalya has the largest volume of developer-marketed foreign buyer projects in Turkey. Most projects are EUR-priced, have payment plans (30–50% deposit, balance over 12–24 months), and include complex amenities.
Key considerations: verify the developer's track record, check that the plot has izin (construction licence) and the completed building will have iskan (habitation licence), and use an independent lawyer — not the developer's in-house representative.
