About Turkey
It’s easy to see why Turkey has become the destination of choice amongst British and international sun-seekers and investors. Surrounded by four different seas, the combination of urban centres, rural areas of exceptional beauty and over 8000 km of crisp sandy beaches makes Turkey a clear leader in overseas property investment.
Each region has its own personality, history, landscape and even cuisine, and with so much on offer, it is not surprising that one trip to Turkey is never enough. As Turkey’s leading resort destination, Bodrum remains unspoilt, perfecting the balance between the country’s ancient heritage and modern Turkish character.
Istanbul’s importance to the economic performance of Turkey as a whole is colossal. 23 percent of the nation’s GDP is generated from the Istanbul area and while industrial production has gradually migrated from the city centre, it remains the heart of the financial and service sectors.
Istanbul is the most popular tourist destination in Turkey. The city attracted nearly 5 million visitors in 2006. Istanbul juxtaposes the past and present with its ancient monuments and contemporary skyscrapers and continues to attract an ever increasing number of tourists.
