- The third and last popular overseas property location in Turkey, is naturally the Mediterranean coast, with its main city Antalya, commonly known as the touristic capital of Turkey. Easily accessible all year round (thanks to Antalya International Airport, second busiest airport in Turkey, and no:1 during the summer season), the Mediterranean coast is also home to popular locations such as Belek, Golf capital of Turkey, Alanya and Side.
