I am due to retire in 12 months and would like some advice on the best areas in Calis to buy a 2 bed property for up to max £50k.
I have been out several times looking at various properties over the past 4 years viewing with interturk and european estates.
Any advice would be helpfull.

First question - did you find areas you thought were better during your several visits? Everyone is different, some like the central area, others swear by Gunlukbasi and yet more would sneer at both of those and tell you Koca Calis is where it's at. The three groups I mention are the following respectively: People who bought in the central area, the people who bought in Gunlukbasi, and the people who bought in Koca Calis.
I think with several visits under your belt that there is only one person who can answer your question :)

By the way, I assure you the best area is the central area near the bird sanctuary ;)

I wish I could understand the reply with quote because you have just made my day Mr Scunner!! That is where I'm going to be!! ;D
-
Akarca. !!!!!!!

We lived between Kipa (old one) and the Otogar and I really really liked it and never wanted to come to Calis.
My wife did (how does that voting system work?)
She was right - we are between Cafe Pazar and the promenade and the options we have for supermarkets / buses / promenade / local and very reasonable restaurants / the Sunday Market / hairdressers / even a BurgerKing soon and even a Hospital (Devlet - cheapest for me!!!) are superb.
I wouldn't change it having looked at all other areas and personally wanting Fethiye Town or Akarca - I am now by default in the right place :)
Ps Don't tell Gill - she will say "told you so" ;)
-
I had a place in Gunlukbasi and can't fault it, more for your money all the local shops you could need but having said that am now happy with a place in the hills above Fethiye.

My theory is 100% correct so far :D
-
We are sokak 1023 and love the nice quiet area
-
Locality is a big issue when buying but over time I think orientation of the house/flat is almost as important; full sun all day, shade in the evening or morning these turn out to be very important and buying one side of the road as opposed to the other can make a real difference.
-
Good point - and indeed even two sides of the same semi if they are facing north or south. The one on the west side will be substantially warmer out of season than the one facing east, which will get very little direct sun.

Ovacik. ;)
-
Now this is getting ridiculous Paul :D
-
AKARCA !!!! ;-)
-
Lived round the corner from Steve,lovely quite area,but for convience ,anywhere between where Ian and Scunner suggest.
-
If I was looking to buy now I'd be looking at Cifltik village I think. It's a propper little Turkish village with a market every week, has some good shops and it's on a good bus route. It's also only a 20 min walk to the beach at Koca Calis.

Couldn't agree more! But don't tell everyone!

We have the perfect setting, lovely location in a quiet cul-de-sac, farm land around us with very friendly farmers, great neighbours. Lying out by the pool is so relaxing, no noise from the street, views of the mountains. Only 5 minutes in the car to the prom. We found where we are is the best place to stay.
Where do we stay??? Well, that's a secret which we don't want to share, why would we?
-
An absolute bargain then - how very clever of you, but mum's the word....
-
Thanks to all for your replies, just need to make up my mind now :-\
-
The biggest question is, do you want to find the property in the location that suits your plans and lifestyle best, or an area where you get a lot for your money. I find if you decide on the answer to that, you are half way there.
