HOW TO TRAVEL IN TURKEY ON A BUDGET
A notable development in Turkey is that we are seeing more and more caravans and mobile homes on the road. For those who love outdoor living and nature there is so much to offer in this country. Even if you have a smaller budget, this is the ideal way to discover this beautiful country. Free camping is allowed in Turkey so that makes a mobile home road trip even more affordable.

TIP OF THE MONTH
Restaurants selling sushi and even Asian cuisine was virtually unthinkable in Alanya 10 years ago. Sushi is also starting to become more popular among the Turkish people. We are very happy with this development which is also partly created by the increase in Russian tourism. On further investigation I found more than 25 restaurants selling sushi. Of course I have my favorites, it would be nice if you let us know your sushi experience in Alanya.

TURKISH ECONOMY AND INFLATION
Turkey is undergoing difficult times with a high inflation. For those coming from abroad with hard currency like euros and dollars the daily expenses are still very affordable. But the local people are struggling in daily life. We have just finished the elections and are currently starting the new government. We need to wait and see what the future will bring. President Erdogan has been re-elected and will run for his last term for 5 years.

TRAVEL TIP OF THE MONTH
If you like mountains and hiking in combination with ancient history you will find all this just 1,5 hour drive from Alanya. The surroundings of Akseki with the beautiful old villages of Ormana and Ibradi are a small paradise. The villages are unique because of their button houses. You can even combine your trip with an overnight stay in one of those authentic houses. Another highlight in this region is the Altinbesik cave.

Earthquake Turkey
Dear customers,
Turkey has been literally overwhelmed by a terrible earthquake in the early morning of February 06 at 04.30 am. The earthquake was the largest measured in the past 100 years with a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale. Later in the day at 11.30 am another earthquake was added. It concerns a spread area of 500 km with a population of 13 million people! As far as it known, at least 10.000 buildings have collapsed and the death toll is still unknown but will run into the thousands if not hundreds of thousands.
The epicenter was in the city of Kahranmaras (600 km from Alanya) and the cities of Antakya, Iskenderun, Gaziantep and Adiyaman were particularly hard hit.
Fortunately, Alanya and the region are not located in an earthquake fault line. That being said the shock was so strong that it has been felt by many people.
There are no casualties and we are safe. No damage to buildings has been detected in Alanya.
We are all working to help wherever possible. The Turkish government has been declared a 3 month state of emergency for the area which consists of 10 provinces.
Now emergency aid needs to be provided, there is a lack of everything, food, clothes and shelter are now a priority.
You can help by donating.
If you wish to donate, please do so on the bank accounts below so that 100% of the donations reach the charity directly.
Thank you very much for your attention and help.

Dear Customers
We are counting the last days of 2022. While it is cold in many countries around Turkey, in Alanya we experience sunny days with temperatures of 20 degrees. Christmas is not really celebrated in Turkey, although in Alanya you can taste something of a Christmas atmosphere because many events are organized by expats from different countries such as Christmas markets and Christmas dinners. Decorations can be bought en masse in various shops in Alanya and the Turkish people simply love those. They have introduced the Christmas tree into a New Year tree. Check it out in this article: https://travelperi.com/does-turkey-celebrate-christmas/
THE STORY OF SANTA CLAUS FROM TURKEY
Santa Claus is a character based on a bishop called San Nicholas born in Turkey around A.D. 280 in Patara near Myra. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St. Nicholas became the subject of many legends. The name Santa Claus evolved from Nick’s Dutch nickname, Sinter Klaas, a shortened form of Sint Nikolaas (Dutch for Saint Nicholas). In 1804, John Pintard, a member of the New York Historical Society, distributed woodcuts of St. Nicholas at the society’s annual meeting. The background of the engraving contains now-familiar Santa images including stockings filled with toys and fruit hung over a fireplace.

TURKEY – TÜRKİYE
Say goodbye to Turkey and hello to Türkiye. The government has asked the international community to recognize Turkey by its name Türkiye, dropping the long standing version that was often confused with the famous Thanksgiving animal. The word Türkiye represents and expresses the culture, civilization and values of the Turkish nation in the best way as said by the President. Now it is just a matter for all of us getting used to this new version of Turkey…. Sorry I meant .. Türkiye…
REAL ESTATE MARKET ALANYA
We see an increase in potential buyers. We expect this to continue in the coming months. Due to inflation in Türkiye life is still much more affordable than anywhere else in the world. Beyond that, the pleasant climate and multi-cultural atmosphere makes life in Alanya very pleasant. There is currently a run on rental houses due to the situation in Russia. We hope this conflict ends soon. Check it out in this article: https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/housing-demand-of-russians-soars-amid-mobilization-177260
