Seven addresses on the Aegean that rarely reach the open market.

From first viewing to title deed

1. Shortlist & private viewingWe arrange viewings around your flight schedule, including airport transfer. Video walkthroughs first if you prefer.
2. Reservation & legal checkAn independent lawyer verifies the title, checks for encumbrances and confirms the seller's authority. A reservation agreement holds the property.
3. Official valuation reportA licensed SPK valuer produces the report required for the title transfer — and mandatory if you intend to apply for citizenship.
4. Tax number & bank accountA Turkish tax number takes minutes; a local bank account is opened with your passport and tax number.
5. Title transfer at the Land RegistryFunds transferred through the banking system, DASK earthquake insurance in place, and the tapu (title deed) is issued in your name — usually the same day.

• Agency fee is 2% + VAT, charged separately to buyer and seller, as required by Turkish real estate regulation.
• Purchases can be made personally or through a company; a power of attorney allows completion without a second trip.

Bodrum is a short hop, not a long haul

• Kaplankaya is the closest to Milas–Bodrum airport; Bodrum town and Turgutreis sit south and west, with Türkbükü and Yalıkavak on the northern and western peninsula.
• Seasonal charter capacity into BJV increases sharply between May and October.
• Azerbaijani and Kazakhstani citizens do not require a visa for short stays in Türkiye — please confirm current rules before travel.

The $400,000 route

Türkiye grants citizenship to foreign nationals who acquire real estate with a minimum total value of USD 400,000, confirmed by an official valuation report, with a title deed annotation committing not to sell for three years. There is no residency or language requirement, eligible family members can be included, and Türkiye permits dual citizenship.

• Approval typically follows within roughly 3–6 months of completing the purchase, assuming documentation is in order.
• Six of the seven properties on this page sit comfortably above the threshold; the Turgutreis villa at €720,000 is close to it and can be combined with a second purchase.
• Buyers not seeking citizenship can obtain a short-term residence permit as property owners.

Immigration rules change. This is a summary for orientation only, not legal advice — we will introduce you to an independent Turkish law firm before you commit.

If you want the asset to work

Two of these properties are built for income, in very different ways.

• Six Senses Kaplankaya — the villa is furnished to the specification required by the resort's official rental programme, so it can be placed into managed short-let rotation without re-fitting. The operator handles guests, housekeeping and maintenance.
• Yalıkavak seafront estate — twelve commercial units, a licenced-ready restaurant and bar, a private beach and full technical infrastructure, already running as a boutique aparthotel. An operating business rather than a holiday home.
• Mandarin Oriental — primarily a private-use trophy asset; owners receive discounts across the resort's spa, gym, restaurants and clubs.

Rental income depends on occupancy, season, operator terms and costs. We can share indicative figures and the current programme terms on request — we do not publish yield promises.
