The busy times are back!

Last couple of month have been very busy. We have actually had so much to do, that a college recently look at me and said ... "I can no longer do this". I was said with a smile on his face and of course could sell yet another property. We have had days where the phones have been ringing constantly, where we did not have sufficient cars for driving customers and where emails where answered after dinner time. We still feel the busyness and are grateful or the interest what we feel from new buyers, sellers and existing customer that again are coming to Alanya to enjoy the weather, beautiful nature and good food. Customers from countries such as Germany, Turkey, Denmark, Russia, Finland, Austria, Ukraine, Holland and United Kingdom have bought property. That also means a lot of happy sellers, of which the majority is actually sad that they have to sell their holiday home in Alanya. Unfortunately circumstances such as economy, family and health are not always within our control. S...

Updated guide for 2021: Discover new places in Alanya

After many, many month that somehow turned into years Alanya is now slowly getting back to normal. Flights are commencing, beaches are again crowded and restaurants are open. It is so nice to see some activity again in Alanya.  Also in our office activities are picking up and we get daily visits from both new and existing customers. Our goal is to make everybody's stay in Alanya as pleasant and nice as possible.  So couple of years ago we made a magazine with a guide to our best recommendations for places to eat and hang out. We called it "Recommended by 2Base" and the idea behind was quite simple. Everyone from 2Base would gather to make a list of their favorite places.  No matter the size, location or style.  Only criteria was that it should be a place that at least one person from our 2Base team would recommend and use themselves. We just updated the magazine with our latest recommendations.  Some places have been removed and some new places found its wa...

!!! Updated, 25th of April 2021 !!! Is it possible and allowed travelling to Alanya?

Update, 25th of April 2021 The flight ban imposed by Turkey has now been lifted and airlines have re-started routes between Turkey and the UK. In that regard the information below is once again relevant. The situation in Turkey is that the number of positive test have been steadily increasing and there are around 50.000 daily positive cases. Also worth noting is that only around 300.000 tests are conducted on a daily basis. This means that testing is only done when symptoms are present and there is no larger random test network implemented for testing at work places, educational institutions or similar. The situation in Turkey is serious but not out of control.  The capacity at hospitals are not under too much pressure since the current variant of covid-19 in Turkey causes less severe cases than the previous variants. Almost 10 percent of the Turkish population have been vaccinated and another 5 percent have received the first injection. So it is safe to travel to Alanya or is...

You can start packing your suitcase - flights are back!

  Good news for everyone living in Great Britain and Denmark. With immediate effect the ban on flights from Great Britain and Denmark has been lifted and airlines are now resuming flights the two countries and Turkey. Furthermore there will be no requirements for quarantine upon arrival to Turkey just as tourists are exempt from the weekend lockdowns that are currently in place across Turkey. A negative PCR test from the last 72 hours is still needed and is required for all, even those that has been vaccinated. Also an online arrival form needs to be filled which can be done via this link: https://register.health.gov.tr/ In case you need a travel insurance that is also covering Covid-19 then these are available here in Turkey and we are happy to assist you in this regards. We hope to see some of you soon here in Alanya and you are more than welcome to visit out office for a cup of coffee. Just remember that keeping social distance, wearing a mask and washing your hands frequently a...
