Alanyas new ring road is on its way

The last couple of years Turkey has started to invest heavily in new infrastructure. 
Most notably are the new tunnel and bridge across Bosphurus in Istanbul and the construction of a new mega airport that will replace the existing and already pretty big Atatürk Airport.

Also in Alanya there are some new projects underway and one of the most exiting - but not so much talked about - is the new ring road.


 The current ring road is known as the 35 meter road, presumably because it is 35 m wide. This road starts at the entrance of Alanya at the Dinek/ Luna Park area and ends just before the Dim River in Tosmur.

 The new road is known as the 50 m road and construction is on-going as you read this. Interestingly enough there is not much public information available about the road, but here is what we know so far.

The road will start just west of the public hospital "Devlet Hastanesi" which is approximaetely where the 35 meter road and the 25 meter road joins. 


 Construction is being done in two stages. Stage one brings the road from Alanya to Kargicak, stage two from Kargicak to Gazipasa.

 The start of the road is west of Devlet hastanesi from where the road will continue via the northern part of Cikcilli and cross the Dim river on bridge approximately two kilometers from the beach road. 

 Immediately after the crossing of the river the road will continue to Kestel via a tunnel.
The work to excavate the tunnels are currently work in progress.

 After reaching Kestel and Mahmutlar on the northside of each area the exact path is currently not known.

But what will this mean to Alanya?


 We all know and see ourselves that traffic in and around Alanya is getting heavier and heavier.
This new ring road will be warmly welcomed and heavy traffic moving around Alanya will now be able to do so without disturbing residential areas.

 The beach roads will still be busy so apartment owners living on the first line will still have to live with quite some noise from the beach road between Alanya and Kargicak.

 But much of the heavy traffic and trucks will now be moved away and the traffic on the 25m, 35m and the beach road will surely be less crowded and stressful.

 Stage one of the road is planned to open in 2017, so we keep our fingers crossed and hope that there will be no delays.

Hottest topic of Alanya is about your guests

  Recently the most discussed topics related to real estate in Alanya is without doubt the amendments to the law about short time rental of privately owned property. This has led to several other discussions that are also relevant for owners of private properties that do not rent out their property. Mainly two questions are being discussed.... - When are people that are staying in my property to be considered as commercial rentals? and - Must I register my guests with the local authorities and how is that done?   On social media platforms a fierce discussion has been going on. So far most information available has been 3rd party information such as "according to.... ", "we were told that... ", "local authorities said that... " and so on. In this blog post we will take a slightly different approach. We will take a look at the actual laws and form an opinion based on what the laws and regulations say. Before we start please note this carefully: - This inform...

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney This is usually worth considering when buying or selling real estate or when you are in need of an accountant or a lawyer. Quite often, it can be useful and time-saving to issue a power of attorney to a third party, who can then act on your behalf. The process itself is simple and fast, and alone in and around Alanya there are almost ten different notary offices to choose from. These are the most important issues to remember when issuing a power of attorney: Only issue powers of attorney to persons that you trust and that you know who they are. Make sure that the power of attorney is specific and for your exact purpose only. When selling your property via power of attorney, the exact registration and location must be specified. When selling a car, the licence plate and registration must be specified and so on. If it serves a purpose, consider making a time-limited power of attorney. Use a professional translator whom you unde...

Size of a Turkish squaremeter

  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...
