A spring like never before


This spring time has been like never before.

 Covid-19 virus has turned Alanya into a desert village, at least it sometimes feels like that. 

 Markets are open and you need to use mask when you go to shops.

 But despite all of this Corona-thing, Mediterranean sea is more beautiful than ever, more turquoise than ever before, weather is like summer at its best, 22-25 degree now.

 So how is life here now? 

 Most things have changed. Banks and other necessary shops opens at 12.00 and only allows a limited amount of customers at at time. 

 Shopping center Alanyum is closed, so are most of shops together with all restaurants, bars and cafeterias. 

 All playgrounds, beaches, parks and other public spaces are closed down and wrapped in "do not enter" tape.

 This is very different spring to all complexes too. All pools, saunas, gyms and other shared facilities and common areas are closed. 
Lets cross our fingers and hope that some of it can soon open again.

 A curfew for all weekends has been implemented for everyone.
So we have to stay at home all weekend, no one is allowed to go out. 
This curfew will probably continue for some time.

 In the weekends people normally gather for picnics, but this is no longer possible. 

 For those younger than 20 years old or older than 60 of age, the curfew is 7 days a week.

 The city of Alanya has done an incredible job during this situation.

 While you are stay at home, city workers can bring your shopping's and medicines to your home together with food and bread. 

 Street animals are also not forgotten and masks are distributed for free.


 Despite all this spring time is coming slowly with thousands roses and fruits. 
Raw almonds are soon ready to be picked up, this is a favorite for many Turkish people who love this bitter fruit.

 Nevertheless, we are all well here but of course we would like you too be here with us to enjoy this wonderful spring time in Alanya. 

 And please do not worry, we will look after your home here. 
If you have anything in your mind or any worries do not hesitate to contact us :-)

 Have a wonderful spring, where ever you will be.

 We miss all of you....

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...
