Amazing antalya 'flying high'

British Airways’ new route between London Gatwick and Antalya International Airport (AYT) has opened the region up to holidaymakers and investors...

Year-round flights have been operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, making this a key time to buy in the area, where prices are still low.

A spokesperson for Homes Worldwide commented: “Antalya is a thriving city with a picturesque harbour and an atmospheric old quarter, while the secluded coves and sparkling bays of the Mediterranean coastline add to the appeal.The dramatic Taurus Mountain range draws hikers, climbers and nature lovers, while history buffs head for the ancients ruins that pepper the countryside.

“With golf villas costing from €150,000 and beach apartments costing less than €120,000, this is a great area to buy to let as the burgeoning tourism sector takes off”.

“In 2007 Antalya, International Airport handled nearly 18 million passengers and these numbers are rising all the time. With such a variety of diversions on offer, it’s no wonder that BA have decided to add the route, which will add easy accessibility to the list of attractions”.
