My advice for what its worth, buy cheap flat land 15 to 20 minutes drive from the coast, before parting with any money make sure you have the deeds in your name,and always use a good solicitor, trust no one and do not do anything you would not do in the UK with regards to investments, the reason i say land is they do not make it anymore, I was advised this many years ago by a very astute Turkish gent, imo the Bank rate will not last much longer, look at the rates over the last 10 years and you will see what i mean. PS good luck with your move.
