Holiday Village was one of the first real "holiday villages" which was built in Alanya, at the time when the housing market was brand new and burning hot.
With a little unconventional location in the hills behind Mahmutlar it attracted many precisely because of its slightly REMOTE, nice and quiet location.

We have just included a new unit in our portfolio. If you should want to become a homeowner in Holiday Village, chances are there now ....

Latest FACTS about Gazipasa Airport

Here on the blog we have almost made it a sport NOT to write about Gazipasa Airport - mostly because 99 percent of the information that existed about the airport was pure on the basis of rumors.

We hasten therefore with recent FACTS about Gazipasa Airport.

Alanya has grown a little bit bigger

It is now many years since the author of this blog moved to Alanya. In fact, almost exactly 10 years.
Since then much water has flown into the river (or Dim River) as they say :-).

The size of a Turkish square meter

This time we will look into something that should seem quite simple - which is the size of a square meter.

Let us first take a look at what Wikipedia has to say related to the subject:
The square metre (British spelling) or square meter (American spelling) is an unit of area... It is defined as the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one metre.

For those who are particularly interested in the subject it is worth noticing that 1m2 equals 0.000001 km2 (square kilometers) or 10.000 cm2 (square centimeters).

A question to which Wikipedia does not answer is what the size of a Turkish square meter is. Because one thing that experience has taught us, is that one (1) European m2 and one (1) Turkish square meter are not equal. This is most obvious when we receive the floor plans for the units we promote. These are often quite exaggerated and often we see 2-bedroom apartments of 150m2. But visiting the apartment in question often reveals another story.
Or to put it another way: The 150m2 apartment turns out to be just 100m2.

Questions related to yearly fees

As an apartment owner in Turkey - and most other places too - you each year have to pay the yearly fees to related to the owners association.
These payments will then cover expenses for keeping common areas clean and tidy, usage of common electricity, maintenance of the pool, elevator checkups and so on.
How much to pay is decided each year at the annual general meeting (AGM).

This often leads to the following questions:
1) Can the AGM decide what ever amount they choose?
2) When must the decided fees be paid?

These questions we cover on our blog "Questions related to yearly fees". Click the link and read more...
