Thanks to modern aviation one of the most beautiful countries can be reached in almost no time. A land, where the gods of creation outdid themselves. Whoever falls in love with the beauty of Turkey does not ever want to leave it again for too long.
While enjoying the pleasure of bathing in the turquoise-blue sea as early as march or april, you can spot the snow cupped peaks of tremendous mountains at the same time.

The Turkish peninsula, also known as the 'sun country Anatolia', extends like a beautiful horse's head from Asia into the Mediterranean Sea. Lonely bays with crystal clear water and long beaches, that are situated safely between the enormous mountains, not only provide tranquility, but also stimulate your senses and touch the spirit.

Here you can experience many special moments while watching the sun rise over the back of the mountains and set over the horizon at the end of the sea.
I myself felt refreshed whenever I had the chance to experience one of those inspiring sunsets. Since there are so many sunny days in Turkey, one can also enjoy the views this country offers at great distances without being hindered by fog or clouds.

Now, pack your bags and take a closer look at the night sky! You will soon realize that even the night sky is something altogether different in Turkey. You might feel a slight tingle in your head when looking directly at the grand trail of the Milky Way and its billions of stars, that you might not have seen this clearly before.

What is it that lures so many people from all over the world to the Turkish Riviera? The mild, sunny and stable climate? The beautiful nature with its diverse vegetation and colorful bazars in every town and city?It probably is a mix of these and other things and - of course - the hospitality of the Turkish people which is well known.
Additionally there are strong historical, social and cultural reasons why so many Europeans settle in Turkey: In the vastness of the country you literally stumble over traces of our Christian, Jewish and Islamic cultural heritage.
If you choose to go back even farther in history and relive the ancient world and talk to gods and goddesses of the Ephesians or Trojans, then you won't have to search for long in Anatolia.

Just like in centuries long past Turkey is still a multiethnic state with various cultures and customs. You will witness simplicity and modernity, the old and the new, the 'Eastern World' and the 'Western World' simultaneously and right next to each other. Turkey not only geographically connects two worlds but in many other aspects, too.

Not to mention, there are some practical reasons why Turkey is an extraordinary good choice:
From Western Europe the flight takes a little more than three hours - due to the strong demand there are lots of special offers and discounts for flights to the main touristic airpoirts - inclusive bonus offers for frequent passengers.
Many people here speak German, English and Russian. Quite unexpectedly one finds oneself involved in a nice conversation in one's mother tongue.
Due to large investments the infrastructure has reached a good and sometimes even excellent level and approaches European standards (e.g.: broadband internet access, modern roads, excellent health care, very good mobile network coverage, public transport, cheap domestic flights and much more). The ties to the European Union are complex and strong. See our article EU-Accession (in german) on this.
All this is especially nice since Real Estate in Turkey is still affordable. Living expenses are a lot less compared to Western Europe and Russia and are not comparable to other Mediterranean countries.
With approximately 320 sunny days a year, the Turkish Riviera has become one of the most popular residences for people from all over the world. Thousands of Europeans and Russians are already living in cities like Antalya, Alanya, Kas or Fethiye.
