Holiday Village was one of the first real " holiday villages " which was built in Alanya , at the time when the housing market was brand new and burning hot. With a little unconventional location in the hills behind Mahmutlar  it  attracted many precisely because of its slightly REMOTE , nice and quiet location . That the construction site during construction also developed into the area's biggest and dirtiest mud hole   because of winter rain; this is quite another enjoyable story :-) Despite Holiday Village is older than many of the other resorts in the area, so it is still one of the very best . High quality, a host of amenities and happy owners. In short : everything as it should be! We have just included a new unit   in our portfolio .

Here on the blog we have almost made it a sport NOT to write about Gazipasa Airport - mostly because 99 percent of the information that existed about the airport was pure on the basis of rumors. Especially in the years leading up to the opening of the airport there was almost daily rumors about everything between heaven and earth, but unfortunately  it was exactly that, only rumors. As you know, the airport is to everyone's delight actually opened, and has developed into a success story. We hasten therefore with recent FACTS about Gazipasa Airport. Latest company to operate at the airport is Thomas Cook Scandinavia, opening up a charter service to and from Stockholm. This means that the following companies are now using Gazipasa Airport: Thomas Cook Scandinavia, Jet Time, Pegasus, SAS, Corendon, Small Planet, Transavia and Tailwind.   And for those who are interested, we can also mention the following aircraft types all have landed and taken off from the airport: Bo...

It is now many years since  the author  of this blog moved to Alanya. In fact, almost exactly 10 years. Since then much water has flown into  the river (or Dim River ) as they say :-). One of the things that has always been important and have always made Alanya a great place to live, is that the vast majority of developing happens in a positive direction. Over the last 10 years , the infrastructure improved significantly , shopping opportunities have been multiplied , some administrative things with the government work better , and overall Alanya has - seen through European  - become a more modern and Western European place to live . Over the past few years, the main street of Alanya city center and the area west of Atatürk statue evolved into a little "cafe area " to include " Starbucks " and the Turkish version called " Simit Sarayi ". And now also the area east of Atatürk statue is getting on the...

 Nordic Travel Fair 2013 has been held again. This year there were more than 76 000 visitors. The day before the opening we were organizing the stand in order. Watching the expedition hall a little skeptical, wondering if everything is ready for the opening morning  but of course it worked. The days of the exhibition our stand was visited by a lot of familiar customers. There were also clients with whom we did not yet met; very pleasant surprises when the names familiar from e-mails or phone got faces. There were many people  who wanted to know more about either purchasing or renting housing. Some also asked general information about Turkey, in particular in Alanya housing. I wonder if due to the location of our department (in the corner of corridors) , but many times we were asked to advise the fair guests, who are looking for some specific department. Fortunately we had a map of the exhibition area, from which then together we tried to find the righ...
