geb73 tread with caution.fuel prices etc is killing some resorts, i can only speak of didim. the last two seasons are getting quieter,

Geb you said ''you can only speak of didim''.yet you have failed to tell us anything about Didem,

İf you are going try to rent a property state facts, no more no less,

KNOW YOUR DİDİM.
For most people purchasing a home in Didim, they will be surprised at the amount of choice on offer. Do not be daunted by the prospect of finding your ideal property.

From a stone built bungalow close to the Temple completely in keeping with the area, to a modern apartment with state of the art fixtures and fittings - Didim has something to offer everyone.

Palabıyık

Palabıyık is an extremely popular, well established, residential area ideally situated between Ege Caddesi and Ataturk Bulvarı. In walking distance of supermarkets, all services and amenities. Restaurants in this area offer an excellent choice, for those nights you don't fancy the stroll into Altinkum itself. Though property available in this area are now mostly re-sales, there are still some new-builds available. This particular area is attractive to the potential renter because of its proximity to Dolphin Square, and easy access to the main resort area.

Avcılar Çükrü (known locally as Hunters Valley)
A fairly quiet area of Didim located behind the Police Station, and 5-10 minutes walk to ‘Dolunay Beach' (fomerly known as second beach). Property prices in this area reflect its location, within walking distance to the various bars and restaurants, that come to life in the evenings.

Yeşilkent
Yeşil in Turkish means green, and this is definitely one of our greenest areas. A village within a town set just around the coast from Altinkum, Yeşilkent is very popular with the ex-pat community who have made Didim their permanent home. With sympathetic architecture, and unspoilt scenery, this is considered to be an Elite area of Didim.Most properties in this area are Villas with their own gardens, some having pools though as Yeşilkent has its own fabulous beach, a private pool is not a necessity.

Yenihisar
Yenihisar means ‘Newcastle'. This is the old town now known as ‘Didim'. The infamous Saturday market is located in the old quarter of the town where you can buy almost everything from grapes to goats. There are a lot of new properties being built, these are larger than those in the resort area, as they are built with the family in mind. Central for everything, yet only a short bus ride into the resort itself.

Mavişehir
Blue Town' aptly named as it sits on the edge of the Aegean Sea. In an idyllic location between the Temple of Apollon and Didims latest tourist attraction the ‘Aqua Park', Mavişehir boasts numerous sandy beaches and coves. Once only known to Turkish holidaymakers, it is fast becoming popular with foreign residents wishing to re-locate.

Yenimahalle
Roughly translates as new neighbourhood, and that exactly what this is. The fastest growing residential area of Didim. Popular with both local and foreign residents. In a central location close to all amenities and services, banks and supermarkets on your doorstep – yet only a short stroll into the main resort area. Apartments are on the larger side, and designed for more permanent living.

Efeler
Designed for permanent living, close to schools, creches, supermarkets, and local amenities. Not too far out of the resort (walking distance is about 20-25 minutes), yet far enough to make you feel part of the local community. Apartments and duplexes in this area are very reasonably priced, as well as being slightly larger than the average holiday home.

Some people who have bought in Altinkum and the surrounding area's, have there name adress+ telephone number and map of there house, printed on a business card, then they give them out to all and sundry, WHY..?

Some people post there Turkish adress all over forums. and say when they coming and going, THEY EVEN POST THERE FLİGHT DETAİLS, WHY..?

Is this why so many people are robbed in these area's,?

Geb,
Try promoting Altinkum and the surrounding area's, instead of knocking it, you are not helping the ''fan club'' of Altinkum,

geb your comments make no sense at all

you want to buy the biggest duplex in altinkum,

you want to rent a 2 bed apt long term for £100-00 month
ask me.

Why would anyone want to buy in altinkum, according to your bright outlook people will not get their money back or ever be able to get a decent rental revenue from it. To me you sound like a bitter buyer who doesn't know how to market properties so decides to knock the area.

If you're looking for rentals you're going the wrong way about it, according to you we all risk getting robbed.

As for

you are falling by the wayside,your mouth is not so loud.

ok boys, settle down our you will all be made sit up front near teacher! lol

private arguments aside, I also feel the need to point out that not all about Didim is doom and gloom - yes there are negatives, but that can be said of most areas of the world! and if you read voices newpaper in didim, then I am sure that you will only see the downside, as much of the expat community here seems to thrive on it, just like we do at home! lol we do seem to love a drama! must be why soap operas like gloomy eastenders gets viewers! lol

but there are many positives to buying Didim - least of which is price. If you employ a good emlak who uses only reputable developers, then you should be easily able to find a very reasonably priced property which will not remain half empty for years! and which should be able to be rented easily.

as for renting - I tend to agree with paul-steve - a lot of it depends on how aggressively you market it. But I do notice that penthouse duplexes don't do as well as other properties - namely because they are not as well suited to people with young families or the elderly (safety worries/buggies/ too many steps etc). you must take into consideration who you plan on aiming the property at - otherwise this can affect its rental potential.

If renting is your primary aim, then buy in a development geared towards tourist market - not an individual property on a residential street. Its a lot easier to rent a complex with its own bar, 2 pools, mini market, kids play area etc than just an apt. And don't buy a penthouse duplex, because straight away you have limited your market, because as I already said older renters wont be interested! if you dont consider these things when buying then you can't really blame the area or the market for your inability to rent out regularly!

As for no water? well it happens, and it happens in many many parts of turkey. My mate lives in Fethiye and has had short supply of water last two days. Its a fairly easy problem to solve - when you spend tens of thousands on a property, splash out (pardon the pun) and spend another few hundred on an emergency tank! problem solved!
