If you are not a fan of winter slush and the gray skies outside, and the short daylight hours make you feel apathetic and low, there is a solution – wintering in Turkey. At this time of year, it is comfortable here, with no exhausting heat, and the temperature varies from 10 to 20 degrees depending on the region. Yes, the sea in winter is only for the hardy, but there is still plenty to do in Turkey: skiing, swimming in the pool, visiting museums, parks, shopping centers, and traveling around the country to get to know the eastern culture better. We recommend choosing the warmest areas for your stay – Antalya, Alanya, Kemer, Kaş.
5 reasons to spend winter in Turkey
1. Low housing prices. From the second half of October, the low season begins in Turkey – rental prices drop, and you can rent beautiful apartments in the historic center or within walking distance of the sea at a low cost.
2. No tourist hustle and bustle. By the end of autumn, tourist activity here decreases but does not cease completely. You have the opportunity to go on excursions, explore popular attractions, and go shopping in calm conditions without queues and crowds.
3. Abundance of cheap and high-quality vegetables and fruits – bananas, pomegranates, apples, pears, oranges, tangerines, avocados, tomatoes, persimmons.
4. The opportunity to celebrate New Year at a ski resort.
5. Short flight and well-established air connections.
How to choose housing?
Turkey is a hospitable country ready to welcome guests at any time of the year. The rental market is well-developed here, so it's easy to find accommodation to suit any taste and budget: a studio apartment, house, villa, or penthouse in an elite residential complex. When renting a villa or a detached house, you have the right to use not only the interior but also the surrounding area. When renting an apartment in a residential complex, you can use the entire infrastructure of the complex.
Many are deterred by the fact that central heating is absent in almost the entire country. Do not worry, apartments in Turkey are equipped with air conditioners. They will come in handy on cold days, which are not many here.
Recommendations for choosing housing:
- Choose apartments on middle and upper floors. The lower the apartment, the cooler it is.
- Prefer apartments located on the sunny side.
- Consider that the more modern and well-equipped the residential complex is, the higher the utility bills and additional costs will be.
- Use the help of professional realtors to find housing. This way you will find a suitable option faster, and a properly drawn-up contract will protect you from sudden rent increases or other wrongful actions by the owner.
