  Alanya-Serik Toll Road: A Project of Promise and Controversy The newnounces Alanya-Serik toll road is one of the region’s most ambitious infrastructure projects.  Designed to slash travel time between Antalya and Alanya, the 122-kilometer highway promises economic growth, significantly reduced traveltime and a major boost to tourism.  However, the project has also sparked heated debate over its environmental impact, cost transparency, and the realism of its claimed benefits of reduced travel time. The Promise: Faster Travel and Economic Growth The Turkish government touts the Alanya-Serik toll road as a game-changer.  Officials claim the highway will reduce travel time from the current 2.5 hours to just 36 minutes, thanks to its modern design: 84 km of main highway, 38 km of connecting roads, 8 tunnels, and 19 viaducts, all built to accommodate speeds of up to 140 km/h.  Beyond time savings, the highway is positioned as a catalyst for regional development.

  Not so long ago, checking the mail meant a trip to the mailbox, and making a phone call required sitting by a landline. International calls were a rare and costly luxury. Today, smartphones, email, WhatsApp, and easy internet access have transformed the way we communicate. Now, you can effortlessly dial an English number to speak with your real estate broker in Turkey, no matter where you are. Similarly, creating a professional and attractive website has become both simple and affordable, allowing companies to present themselves in the best possible light.  However, when choosing your future real estate partner in Turkey, it’s crucial to look beyond the surface and consider the following: Is there a real company behind the broker, or just an individual? How many employees does the brokerage employ? Choosing a broker who works alone can leave you, as a customer, in a vulnerable position. In Turkey, many brokers operate not as established companies, but as individuals—an unsaf...

  This time, we will examine something that should seem quite simple: the size of a square meter. First, let's see what Wikipedia has to say on the subject: The square meter is a unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one meter. For those particularly interested in the subject, it is worth noting that one square meter equals 0.000001 square kilometers or 10,000 square centimeters. One question Wikipedia does not answer is the size of a Turkish square meter. Experience has taught us that one European square meter and one Turkish square meter are not equal. This is most obvious when we receive the floor plans for the units we promote. These are often quite exaggerated, and we often see 2-bedroom apartments listed as 150 square meters. However, visiting the apartment in question often reveals a different story. In other words, the 150-square-meter apartment turns out to be just 100 square meters. The main reasons for this are: - In Turkey, info...
